Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency

Ms Kate Duggan:

What I was trying to say is that we recognise that we are losing more social workers than we are recruiting. In terms of recruiting, there is a supply issue. It is anticipated across all of the sectors that need social workers, we need approximately 500 social workers to qualify every year in Ireland. Right now, there are 200.
