Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I confirm that I met representatives of the ABC group. I believe they were reasonably satisfied with the positive disposition that I displayed towards some of the issues they raised with me. I also attempted to explain to the group some of the limitations with some of the issues. I should have mentioned another issue linked to a matter raised by Deputy Funchion. I am not one of these people who believes that if a parliamentary question or representation lands in one's lap, one writes back saying the person has written to the wrong place. As a public servant, if someone writes to me on an issue relevant to another part of Tusla, my job is to connect that communication to the right part of Tusla so that an answer is supplied.
