Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Tusla: Chairperson Designate

Mr. Pat Rabbitte:

I thank Deputy Neville. His last point about the work social workers do is very important. Some of us would find it very difficult to do that job, week in, week out. People do suffer from burnout. I do not belong to the José Mourinho school of management where I criticise my own players. I do not think that is a good policy. There is a lot to praise in Tusla.

I am reluctant to answer Deputy Neville's question about the percentage of the change management process that has been achieved and whether it is 70% or more in terms of social workers having the mobility and wherewithal to do their jobs without being reliant on the old system.
