Ireland: Child-protection audit ‘a wake-up call’ for society, report author says
Irish Times – May 29, 2017
An audit that found serious failings in the State’s child-protection system is “a wake-up call for Irish society”, the author of the report has said. Prof Geoffrey Shannon, who led the audit into An Garda Síochána’s handling of removal of children from their homes in cases of emergency, said it revealed unpalatable truths about how society treats some of its members.
