Amharc ar fhreagraI would like to thank the Deputy for his question.
Please see below data in tabular form that we have received from our colleagues in Tusla on the number of relative/general foster carers approved over the last 36 months by Tusla area.
We wish to advise that Tusla cannot provide a breakdown of relative foster carers and general foster carers as they collect the figures combined - thus the combined figures is what is provided below. Also, please note that data is collected quarterly rather that monthly. N/A denotes not available:
I trust the above information is to your satisfaction.
