Minister for Children Frances Fitzgerald has said Section 12 of the 1991 Child Care Act, which is used to remove children at risk from their home, is to be re-examined.
Her comments came following the temporary placing of two Roma children into State care earlier this week.
Ms Fitzgerald said the powers of investigation given to Ombudsman for Children Emily Logan into the procedures and protocols used by the authorities would complement the independence of the office and ensure that public trust was maintained.
Yesterday, it was confirmed Ms Logan is to investigate the gardaí and the HSE after the children were removed from families in Dublin and Westmeath due to concerns about their parentage.
In an interview on RTÉ Radio 1 Ms Fitzgerald said she hopes to publish the Children First legislation during the current Dail term or early in the New Year.
Asked about the Ombudsman's investigation raising the potential need for additional resources in child protection, Minister Fitzgerald said the use of Section 12s would be looked at.
