Ms Finlay mentioned that CAS workers have received appropriate training. How many people have completed the specialist joint interview training with An Garda Síochána? Does the training work? My experience is that many of the people I know who did that, and they were excellent social workers, never did a single interview and have since left Tusla. So a lot of money has been spent on a very important thing but it has been wasted.
