Asylum Seekers
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-17
============================================================

Pa Daly (SF), Kerry

The particular concern is about minors, young people and those who are of disputed age, some of whom may have serious medical and physical conditions. Has the Minister been notified about assaults of any type in any of the centres or has that come to his attention? Are all unaccompanied minors given a social worker or placed in local authority care when they are in the centres? The staff should be Garda vetted, and the Minister will come back to me in that regard. Do any of the staff receive child protection training in advance of or concurrent with Garda vetting?
