Show notes

The state is failing some of its most vulnerable children, that’s the stark warning from the children’s ombudsman in a major new report out this week. The report describes a system under severe strain, with falling foster care numbers, growing reliance on private residential providers, and serious gaps in support for carers. So, what’s going wrong inside Ireland’s care system? Joining Pat to discuss is the Children’s Ombudsman, Dr Niall Muldoon.
