Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

The bodies under the aegis of my Department are the Child and Family Agency (Tusla), the Adoption Authority of Ireland, the Ombudsman for Children and the Oberstown Children Detention Campus. I have referred the Deputy's question to each of these bodies and asked them to provide the information sought directly to the Deputy.

The referred replies under Standing Order 42A were forwarded to the Deputy.
