Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

The Deputy is referring to an operational matter for Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. I have therefore referred the matter to Tusla, and asked that a direct response be provided to  the Deputy.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A
