Following this week's developments which saw child and family agency Tusla remove a child from the care of its grandparents on account of their age, RTE Drivetime carried a report into the situation.
The child in question was removed from the care of its grandparents and placed with foster carers - despite protestations from the couple, the child’s school and doctors.
Breda Savage, who speaks to RTE's Mary Wilson in the clip below, is an Age Action supporter.
