Mr. Gloster said in his opening statement: "The agency received referrals to its child protection and welfare service in 2020 at just below 70,000. It is important to note that in the early stages of the Covid-19 response, we saw a concerning decrease." Have all of those 70,000 referrals been expedited? Is Tusla on time and ahead of the curve in terms of all referrals that come to it in respect of any child or family?
