I am informed by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, that the anticipated completion date for the National Review Panel's report is October 2018.

The report will provide the findings of the review of three cases of child abuse in County Galway by the National Review Panel. The Panel is independent in its work, and the panel members for these cases have significant expertise in child protection, foster care and child sexual abuse.  Once the report is completed, Tusla will act on  identified areas for learning and  any recommendations  made.
