Text
I welcome the Minister's statement and his previous answer in particular. Can the information that will be shared with Mr Donnelly about those projects be shared with Health Committee members? That will be really important. It is really welcome that the Council approved the child protection work programme for 2025-28. Again, I would appreciate it if the detail of that could be shared with Committees. What in that, or in your conversations, will ensure that what happened to Kyran Durnin from Drogheda, a young boy who had supposedly moved to the North but was not followed up on and was murdered, never happens again? We know that the most dangerous place for a child in this country is in their own home.
