Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Jim Gibson:

We enter into an Estimates process with the Department every year and define our ask within it. Given the economic position and so on, we are very clear on our key priorities as the child protection and welfare service in Ireland and ask the Government for further investment. In the past three years there has been a significant investment. At times we are challenged in recruitment and were before the committee to discuss social work as a profession, but it is not just social work that makes up Tusla's staffing requirements.
