Ceist:

261. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if Tusla is reviewing its policies in regard to circumstances in which children, the parents of whom pose a risk to them, are taken into the care of grandparents and a child protection plan is created by Tusla but which Tusla refuses to formalise.

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

The Deputy will be aware that I am not in a position to comment on individual cases, or matters which have been before the courts.

I have written to Tusla, the Child and Family Agency to request information on the operational aspects of the question. A further response will issue when I have their reply.
