Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Update on Homelessness: Discussion
Ms Louise Bayliss:
We have concerns that if children are with the support of a protective parent, Tusla does not get involved because it is looking at the parent to be the support worker. What we are saying is that parents in that situation are under too much pressure themselves. Children are aware of the pressure their parents are under, children take on that burden and child support workers need to be there to offload that risk for children.
