Public Accounts Committee
Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I think it is really for Tusla itself to provide explanations to the committee, but what is explained in the governance statement is that there were matters and I think I have pointed out that there was a subsequent whistleblower disclosure on the same set of events and both processes were ongoing. An investigation was done into the matters that were brought forward in the protected disclosure and a report was produced at, I think, a cost of €416,000, but that ended up being quashed after legal proceedings against the report. It is a very significant expense.
