General Scheme of the Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Agency Bill: Discussion
Dr. Cl?ona Saidl?ar:
In terms of children specifically and the Bill, a small clause recognises the transfer of the parties of DSGBV. It was never as a whole in Tusla, but we are transferring it to a new agency. What is left behind in the agency for the first time is including children in DSGBV. We need to be careful that we fully acknowledge Tusla's continued role in children's lives in this process around sexual and domestic violence. We cannot uncouple the two.
