‹ Order of Business Child care amendment Bill
Summary
Deputy Fitzpatrick sought legislation requiring after-care plans for eligible young people; the Taoiseach said the Child Care (Amendment) Bill was due this session.
Amending the Child Care Act 1991 will impose a statutory duty on the Child and Family Agency to prepare an after-care plan for an eligible child or young person. We must strengthen the legislative provision for after care. When can we expect the drafting of the child care (amendment) Bill?
