202. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he has spoken or corresponded with a representative of Tusla regarding issues with copying and pasting errors resulting in factually incorrect statements being recorded on Tusla files (details supplied); the names or titles of the persons with whom he corresponded on the matter; and the dates on which such conversations or correspondences occurred. [5241/22]

Written answers

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

The matter referred to by the Deputy has been the subject of correspondence between my Department and Tusla. I have personally not directly discussed the matter with Tulsa representatives at this juncture.

It was indeed concerning to read of such an occurrence. As I previously informed the Deputy, I was made aware of this case following media reports on the 16th March 2021. Various facets of the matter continue to be appropriately attended to in the normal course of correspondence by my Officials and, where necessary, referred to Tusla.
