Pavee Point welcomes Roma child cases inquiry

A leading Roma group said it was “confident” the inquiry into the removal of two Roma children from their families will be full and comprehensive.

Pavee Point Traveller and& Roma Centre was responding to reports in yesterday’s Irish Examiner detailing the terms of reference of the investigation by the Ombudsman for Children into the two cases last October.

Pavee Point also revealed it met this week with the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission to discuss the possibility of lodging a complaint with them. But a spokeswoman stressed they were “fully committed” to the investigation by the ombudsman.
