Do not get into any specific details. The following is more of a public issue. There were problems in the past where gardaí felt there were credible reports of issues of concern regarding children in foster care in a family setting where those families had children of their own. How urgently does Tusla triage those cases now? Mr. Smyth probably knows the type of cases I am talking about. Gardaí said there were credible reports and Tusla was accused of leaving a child in the place of concern for a long period of time causing difficulty. I will not even go into whether there are legal cases or compensation issues. I am more interested in the children rather than the money end of it. Did Tusla learn from that?
