520. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth further to Parliamentary Question No. 125 of 26 January 2022, if he will provide a full reply. [7590/22]
View answerAs the matter raised by the Deputy in Parliamentary Question No. 125 of 26th January 2022 was an operational matter for Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, I had referred the question to Tusla for direct response to the Deputy.
Tusla has advised my Department that the direct reply is under review in Tusla, and will issue in due course. As you are aware from our meeting with the Minister for Justice and the Taoiseach, the area of Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (DSGBV) is of significant importance to this Government.
Under the Child and Family Agency Act 2013, Tusla has statutory responsibility for the care and protection of victims of DSGBV. You may be interested to know, my Department provided the funding below to Tusla for the provision of DSGBV services.
