Child protection chief not told of other report
Geoffrey Shannon’s report was published last week, while Fine Gael yesterday published a Strategic Review of the Delivery and Management of Children and Family Services carried out by PA Consulting for the HSE.
Fine Gael’s children’s spokesman, Alan Shatter, questioned why Mr Shannon had not been given a copy of the earlier report, particularly when Mr Shannon’s report stated that an independent national review of the current child protection system should be carried out. Mr Shatter said it was a case of “the right hand not doing what the left hand is doing”.
