Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

I fully support the Deputy's call for the Leader of the Opposition to make a statement on recent claims concerning individuals in her party, particularly where it has become clear that child safety was not paramount and children were potentially put at further risk because of the actions and decisions of that party. It is essential child safety is to the fore of everything we do. I support the Deputy's calls and the Business Committee may meet later today to perhaps discuss it.
