View answerFirstly, I wish to acknowledge the importance of the work done by this organisation.
I can confirm that my Department has received correspondence from the organisation in relation to the financial difficulties that it is facing.
The Chief Social Worker from my Department has been engaging with Tusla's CEO and Regional Office General Manager to highlight the concerns raised and to follow up accordingly.
Furthermore, the Chief Social Worker and Social Work Specialist have met with the organisation concerned to discuss the financial situation.
