Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 October 2015
241. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs further to Parliamentary Question No. 181 of 24 June 2015, when a response will issue; if he will provide the timeframe for which parliamentary question responses from Tusla Child and Family Agency should be expected, in general, for example as is given in parliamentary question replies by the Department of Health for the Health Service Executive. [36871/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraWith regard to the specific question raised by the Deputy, I expect to be in a position to furnish a complete reply very shortly. My Department has, in recent days, received additional information and clarification requested from Tusla, the Child and Family Agency to allow for a complete response to issue. We are in the process of compiling this information for issue to the Deputy. I apologise for the delay in responding to the Deputy.
I hope the Deputy would agree that as Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, I make every effort to respond directly, on the day, to the many questions raised by members of the House relating to the work of Tusla.
In situations where the information requested is not readily available, I will always seek to ensure that a response is issued as quickly as possible.
