Minister plays down child report
The Welsh Assembly’s administration recently published draft guidance for children’s agencies on safeguarding young people who may have been trafficked. The document named Ireland as a route traffickers use for bringing children into Britain.
Responding to a parliamentary question from Fine Gael TD Dan Neville, Mr Lenihan said: “In the actual draft guidance, there is one sentence referring to Ireland. It reads: ‘Some children arrive in Wales by ferry from Ireland.’
