Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I wish to advise the Deputy that operational responsibility for the delivery of child protection and welfare services is a matter for Tusla, the Child and Family Agency.

I can confirm that the matter has been referred to Tusla, for direct reply to the Deputy.
