‹ Order of Business Child care and aftercare legislation
Summary
Patrick Nulty asks about legislation amending section 17 of the Child Care Act and a statutory right to aftercare; the Taoiseach says the Bill is being drafted and is expected this session.
No. 3 on the A list is the child care (amendment) Bill to amend section 17 of the Child Care Act 1991. When will that will be published? In addition, will the Government honour its commitment, while in opposition, to amend section 45 of the Act to provide for a statutory right to after care for young people leaving State care? I note the Taoiseach's party explicitly supported that while in opposition.
