Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency has statutory responsibility for the care and protection of victims of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

As the matters to which the Deputy refers are operational, I have requested Tusla to respond to the Deputy directly.
