Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Issues Regarding Childcare Facilities: Discussion

Mr. Brian Lee:

Through the unsolicited information, some concerns came into us on 2 July and 12 July. We did not know they were RTÉ undercover reporters until after the programme. The information that was provided was very unspecific but it triggered inspections to identify any issues in the service. Tusla did respond to the information but the information contained no names of children or adults so it was very hard for us to triangulate it from a child protection or a regulatory point of view. We received the footage on 25 July and our child protection teams are currently reviewing it for identified children or adults who may be of concern to us.
