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. I can confirm for the Deputy, that I have asked Tusla for a report on the matter.
