Child care project details why children taken into care 4 April 2013 Last updated at 12:07 A new website allows people to see why children have been taken into state care in the Republic of Ireland. Cases reported on the Child Care Law Reporting Project (CCLRP) site include one of a baby that was left in a wheelie bin. Another records that a girl was subjected to "the most extreme forms of abuse" by her mother. Irish law bars the reporting of such court proceedings by the media. The CCLRP says it aims to bring transparency to the child care system, without identifying the children. Speaking on RTE radio, the project's director, Dr Carol Coulter, said: "I think we need to know what goes on in order to have a proper debate about how to protect children, and how to ensure that their welfare is provided for." The CCLRP is an independent organisation with funding from both charitable and government sources. Irish minister for children and youth affairs Frances Fitzgerald said she hoped the reports published on the website would "help illuminate the dark everyday reality of child abuse and neglect in Ireland."
