The roll-out in September is my main concern and I join Deputy Troy in wanting more clarity on this. I referenced the use of agency staff with regard to the north Dublin report, which mentioned inexperienced and newly qualified staff and some staff coming from agencies. What is Tusla's dependence on agencies and what steps is it taking to move away from this dependency? How soon does Mr. Jeyes think Tusla will be able to get to a stand-alone, fully engaged, permanent cohort of social workers?
