Amharc ar fhreagraI have requested information from Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. I will forward the reply to the Deputy once I have been furnished with this information.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
Tusla advises that a letter of acknowledgement in relation to the Freedom of Information request was issued to the persons concerned, and that the request is on a waiting list at this time.
