Guardianship of Infants and Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2026: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-06-30
============================================================

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I have tabled a lot of amendments and my only issue is the one with Tusla, the State agency for the care of children. I just do not have faith in it, but I have faith in the Minister that, if Tusla is not doing its job or not doing it correctly, he will come back to this Chamber in a year's time and say that can be changed and perhaps another body can be found to take on the role.
I thank the Minister. I will not be pressing my amendments. I accept the Minister's reasoning.
