Tue 04 Apr 2010Child contact centres to open in Dublin
THE MINISTER for Children, Barry Andrews, will announce the setting up of two child contact centres in Dublin in the coming weeks, he indicated yesterday.
Mr Andrews was opening a seminar on the need for child contact centres to facilitate meetings between children and their parents in situations of family breakdown. A report on the subject by Candy Murphy and Louise Caffrey of One Family was launched at the seminar, which also heard speakers describe how such centres worked in Northern Ireland and the UK. The research was funded by the Family Support Agency.
