Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Tusla

Mr. Pat Smyth:

There are. To give the committee a picture of where we came from, when we fell over into Tusla on 1 January 2014, we had an ICT department with four staff. We have built that into a department which today has 30 or 32 professionals. It is an excellent development within the organisation. They have been engaged with the Garda and I had a report just last week in terms of the engagement they have around the sharing between PULSE, NCCIS and the referrals piece in order that we can integrate that.
