Ms Catherine Bond:

If we are talking about recruitment and retention, requiring someone to go back to university, when they already have an undergraduate degree which the Government has already funded, is going to incur costs. It is about trying to be creative and seeing what could be possible. Something like that certainly could be attractive to people. On the flip side, they would have to sign up to being with Tusla for a period of time if they were in receipt of that kind of bursary, which would assure the retention of those staff into the future with Tusla.
