Mr. Jim Gibson:

I will just mention it quickly because it is very important. It demonstrates the collaboration and the commitment to interagency working. There was a young boy whose uncle died of suicide and shortly afterwards his father died of suicide. That young boy retreated into his bedroom. The school was very concerned about him and it made a referral to our agency. We used the prevention, partnership and family support, not the child protection system, to offer assistance to that family. We engaged with his mother. Collaboration with parents, children and young people is also very important in respect of what they see as their needs and what services should be developed for them. That young person got a team around him. He went back to school and was supported by a variety of professionals from, not only from statutory agencies but also from sporting agencies, youth clubs and so forth. That makes a big difference.

Where would I rate Tusla? Not ten out of ten, but we are halfway there. We have a lot of work to do but we will get there.
