Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Issues Regarding Childcare Facilities: Discussion
Mr. Brian Lee:
Tusla's powers were mentioned earlier. One power that would be of huge help to us would be the ability to act and to have services closed immediately when they are operating unregistered. At the moment, we can only request their closure and then move to prosecute. As the committee can see, a prosecution can take a number of months.
