"Mr President, I beg permission to raise a matter concerning human rights. I have sent in letters on the subject. The human rights problems in Tibet, Belarus and so on are hard to comprehend. However, that does not mean that we do not have problems in our own countries. Last week a family with five special needs children had their children taken from them. That family’s case had been reported in the national media, exposing the lack of services for their own children and children in general. In Ireland the services are very patchy and in places very poor, and some families have been told that if they need help the State might take their children from them. I have had at least six families come to me about this.
The five children involved were supposed to be returned to their parents on Monday, but have not been as yet. They are autistic and there is no way to explain to them what is happening or that they cannot go home. They are being damaged for life.
I appeal to the House to talk to the Irish Government about its treatment of people with disabilities and their families."@en1
