Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

There are no commercial State agencies under the aegis of my Department. The public bodies funded through my Department's Vote are the Adoption Authority of Ireland, The Child and Family Agency (Tusla), the Children Detention School and the Ombudsman for Children's Office. My Department also provides the primary source of funding for Gaisce, the President's Award. Gaisce is a limited company set up under the Companies Acts. I am asking each of these bodies to respond directly to the Deputy.

The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
