Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

The Deputy is referring to an operational matter for Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. I have therefore referred the matter to Tusla, and asked that a direct response be provided to the Deputy.

As I'm sure you can appreciate, the impact of the cyber-attack on Tusla systems continues to be felt. Tusla continues to provide a vital service and is working hard to restore their IT systems and access to information. Tusla will respond to you directly in due course.
