Foster Care Issues and the Loss of Positive Care Services: Engagement with Tusla

It would be good to have these guys back to explore that because it dovetails with a lot of community development and that missing piece. As they say, it is important that when most people hear child protection their minds go to abuse, and particularly sexual abuse, whereas the vast majority of children are in care for neglect and there are much deeper societal issues in terms of addiction, poverty and mental health that we must address beyond Tusla's remit. Anyway, I will stop with my soapbox.
