View answerA wide range of private and voluntary organisations are commissioned by Tusla, the Child and Family agency, to provide services on its behalf locally, regionally or nationally. This includes funding for parenting support services in addition to those provided directly by Tusla staff. The total annual funding for individual organisations, including family resource centres, is published online in Tusla’s annual reports and financial statements. No breakdown is available for expenditure on parenting support services overall or across Tusla local areas.
