Yes. Other terms that are used a lot are "interagency" and "all-of-government approach", but those concepts have not been applied properly to this field.
Agencies that are Tusla-funded or funded through the Department always have their issues. We talk about the need for multi-annual funding but many of them have raised instances where they did not have decent communication around auto-enrolment and whether the State will look after those paid by the State or if they will have to find additional moneys they do not necessarily have.
