We will adjudicate on that next year. However, I am surprised that the Minister would say that PULSE is regularly enhanced and upgraded as though this always happened. Many of the big headline issues over problems with PULSE have been well flagged and were a consequence of PULSE not being regularly enhanced and upgraded and the need to specifically do that. I am a little surprised by that.

On child sexual abuse and child protection, the Department's children first sectoral implementation plan this year states:

Consideration is being given to a co-location model for the management of child sexual abuse cases, combining the new Divisional Protective Services Units (DPSUs) and Tusla social workers. Four DPSUs have been established as at February 2018 and they will be put in place in all remaining Divisions as soon as possible.
