Written answers
I have requested information from the Garda Commissioner in relation to this matter but it was unfortunately not possible to compile it in the time available.
I will write to the Deputy directly with the information requested, when it is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question Number 243 which was for answer on 1 October 2020 where you requested the number of referrals made by Gardaí to Tusla by County in 2018, 2019 and to date in 2020, in tabular form.”
As you may recall, the information you requested could not be obtained in the time available and I undertook to contact you again when the information was to hand.
The requested information has now been responded to by An Garda Síochána and accordingly, please note that Tusla has statutory responsibility for the care and protection of victims of domestic, sexual or gender-based violence.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table attached at Appendix 1 sets out the number of referrals made by Gardaí to Tusla by Garda Division for the years requested by the Deputy.
I trust this information is of assistance.
