Amharc ar fhreagraThe Child Law Project is funded by my Department to report on child care proceedings before the Courts. The Project publishes biannual volumes of court reports, which provide invaluable insight and accountability to court care proceedings.
The latest volume of 67 court reports has been given due consideration by my officials. It is important to highlight that many of the reports illustrate the excellent work undertaken by Tusla social workers, foster carers and residential care staff and many positive outcomes for children.
I and my officials will continue to work closely with Tusla, Government colleagues and with other stakeholders on matters impacting on children in the care of the State.
