I am utterly disillusioned after reading yesterday's report. Many of us thought it was a repeat of previous reports, although there are various nuances in this one, and it seems that little or no progress is being made. I was disappointed with the lack of urgency on the part of Tusla and the blasé attitude in yesterday's statements, which were to the effect that Tusla got some things right but not other things. We are talking about very vulnerable children and even if Tusla fails to get it right on one occasion, it is one occasion too many.

The report stated that there had been an issue with the retention of social workers and that there seems to have been a very high turnover. Can the witnesses outline why this issue exists?

What attempts are being made to recruit social workers?
