Ceisteanna (66)

Bobby Aylward

Ceist:

114 Deputy Bobby Aylward asked the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the hotline for missing children which is already in use in 11 European Union member states; if she will provide funding to subsidise this service to facilitate its operability here which, at present, is prohibitive to non-Governmental organisations and charitable organisations and which number could prove invaluable in co-ordinating cross-border investigations in attempting to locate missing children from State care; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13215/10]

I have discussed the proposal to put in place a hotline for missing children that is operational in some EU Member States with members of charitable organisations and non governmental organisations with a view to providing some level of service. I will keep the Deputy informed of developments in this regard.
