An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2020-09-18
============================================================

Lisa Chambers (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

Regarding turning a blind eye to the situation, I have seen some commentary online to the effect that we need to look after our own first. My response to such comments is let us do both. A message should issue from this House that we are willing, with arms open, to take in those children immediately. I want the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy O'Gorman, to listen to this message and I hope he hears it loud and clear.
