Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-14
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I move amendment No. 1:
In page 9, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:
“(c) to represent the child’s interests in the proceedings to which the guardian ad litem has been appointed.”.
This amendment was previously passed in 2019. We believe it should go back in because it is explicit in the context of the role of the guardian ad litem , GAL. I would welcome the Minister's response.
