Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Yes, we have responsibilities and have to do everything we possibly can to prevent such situations from arising, but any of us who deal with young people in life realise the complexities involved. When Minister for Education, I recall people escaping from Trinity House. I recall that education, health and justice were three silos at the time. That was before Tusla and the more co-ordinated approach that has emerged under the Department of children and equality, which is ultimately the end result of a process whereby we try to unite services for children under one roof.
