Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I remind the Tánaiste of the continued use of section 47 reports, which deprive mothers of children who are removed forcibly from their care. They are being continuously punished for being mothers and being in the family law courts. We are failing to deliver to them natural justice, due process and their entitlement under the Constitution and the laws passed by this House. I ask the Tánaiste to interfere in their favour.
