1257. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the lessons that have been learnt by his Department and Tusla from protected disclosure in relation to an organisation (details supplied) and the subsequent decision not to use the organisation anymore; and the measures that will be taken to avoid a similar situation arising in future.

View answerAs this investigative process is currently on going, I am not in a position to comment at this stage.
Tusla has provided assurances to my Department that this company is not being used currently, and Tusla will not consider re engaging with this company until the investigative process has been concluded.
Following the recent inadvertent engagement of the company for services in September 2024, Tusla has taken additional steps to implement robust measures and controls to ensure that the company is not commissioned by Tusla local areas. All Regional Tusla Managers areas are aware this direction.
My Department continues to liaise with Tusla on this matter.
