I appreciate that, and I appreciate Ms Duggan's honesty and frankness regarding her concern that there are not enough social workers. I respect that. The oversight of children between the age of two and four is obviously an area of concern. Is it a priority for Tusla to close the gap? I know it is moving towards a digital integrated child record. Does that feed into this? What timeframe is Tusla looking at to close the net and ensure there are no more children in that crucial cohort falling between services?
