A leading campaigner on social issues has suggested that Irish authorities should take children away from drug abusing parents until they are in a position to look after them properly.
Fr Peter McVerry has told a Dublin conference that drug addicts cannot give their children the love and attention they need.
The well-known priest also revealed his view that living with addicted parents makes children ‘harder of heart’ and leaves them with less empathy for others in society, leading to greater levels of violence in communities.
