Written answers
The Child and Family Agency (Tusla) has advised that at the end of July 2016 there were 1,485.15 whole-time equivalent social workers directly employed. As Tusla records its data by administrative area as opposed to on a county basis, a breakdown by county is not available. The breakdown of social workers by administrative area is set out in tabular format below. The Deputy should note that the classification 'Corporate' includes national services such as early years services and adoption.
