View answerThe 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.I can advise the Deputy that Tusla has a Performance and Activity Reporting Site, which can be found at the following address: https://data.tusla.ie/ The site seeks to deliver on the Government Open Data Strategy 2017-2022 by making published performance and activity related data held by Tusla easily accessible in an online format while promoting innovation, research, analysis and transparency through the publication of Public Sector data.The data on Tusla's Performance and Activity Reporting Site is continuously updated and is available across the following five service categories:Child Protection and Welfare;Alternative Care and Adoption;Prevention, Partnership and Family Support;Tusla Education Support Service;Regulatory Services.
