Summarization
The Ombudsman for Children (OCO) in Ireland has been discussing various issues related to children's mental health, counseling services, and education with government officials and the media. There is concern among some parents about the negative impact of gender ideology on children's safety and dignity in schools. The OCO is committed to promoting children's rights and advocating for their needs, including those in the care system. However, there are concerns about potential privatization of care for vulnerable children and a lack of accountability for government agencies.

Overall, the OCO seeks to ensure that all children are heard and respected as individuals.
