Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2018
530. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of cases referred by Tusla to an organisation (details supplied) since 2013 that have given rise to criminal charges being brought against the person against whom the allegation was made. [46975/18]
View answerI can inform the Deputy that this information is not collated by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. Prior to the establishment of Tusla in 2014, the functions of child welfare and protection were carried out by the Health Services Executive.
I must apologise to the Deputy that I do not have the information she requests in answer to this Parliamentary Question and PQ 46974/18 and PQ 46976/18. I appreciate she has sought this information from both the Department of Health and from my Department without success. I will ask my officials to write to the Deputy with a more detailed explanation.
