Dr Niall Muldoon says his office has received low levels of contact from this county.
He says his visit is an opportunity to meet children and hear their concerns.

If a person is unhappy with the response to a complaint they've made to a provider of services for children, they can contact the Ombudsman for Children and ask the office to investigate.

He also says current ways of addressing recruitment shortages in child services aren't working.
