Simon Harris: Just let me answer the question, will you? Thank you. The reality of the situation is that so much effort was made by so many good people working in the Department of Health to save lives. That is what they did, and I am proud of them. They did not waste during Covid. They worked really hard during Covid, around the clock, while people like you just threw barbed comments from the sidelines.

Peadar Tóibín: The Kyran Durnin case has shocked the country to the core. This is a tragic and dark case that asks serious questions of the State. How can a vulnerable child go missing for two years? How can a vulnerable child just disappear for two years? How broken is the State care system that we are not talking about an intervention here but we are talking about the potential murder of a child. The...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: I do not think there is a person on any side of this House, or in Ireland, who is not both utterly horrified and heartbroken at what is emerging in relation to the case of young Kyran Durnin. This is nothing to do with political establishment or any sort of rhetoric. This is just to do with basic humanity. An eight-year-old boy effectively went missing for two years and the saddest and...

Peadar Tóibín: Many of these deaths are as a result of a failure of State care. I will give him other examples. The Government is using special emergency arrangements at the moment to accommodate children. These are often unregulated, rented accommodations provided by third-parties with questionable vetting standards. Children are going missing every month and these children are being exposed to sexual...
