Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency

9:30 am

Mr. Colm Ó Conaill:

On that point Deputy, there have been delays over several years. The legislation was passed in 2022 and work is actually ongoing at pace to establish an executive office. A director is going to be recruited in quarter 2 of this year. That director will be hiring other staff on a rolling basis and the office, as it continues to be established, has a consultant working with the Department's team at the moment on the operating model, practice manual, stakeholder engagement, transition plan, etc. There is ongoing active work in that regard.
