Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The biggest reflection of where we need to go, not only as Tusla but as a society, is in the 73,000 children referred to us last year. Fifty-two per cent of them were non-abuse suspected cases. They were welfare cases. That means somebody was sufficiently worried about those children to say the State needed to be aware that they needed some support. It does not matter whether it is Tusla, CAMHS or the local NGO, but that is indicative of how far we have to go.
