Ms Kate Duggan:

The Minister published the recommendations within the Kyran Durnin review. We have implemented all of the recommendations that are within Tusla's control. Where there are recommendations outside of our control we are working with those stakeholders. The other reviews are ongoing in the context of the national review panel, but we do not wait for those reviews to change our practice. Something else I think will be back before the committee is the well-being check when it is published. That is where the Minister asked us to look at all of the cases that were closed to Tusla during Covid-19, to ensure the well-being of those children and young people. We expect that will be completed in the autumn. I think that will have great learning for the State. The Chair mentioned the DSP individual noticing something about how we use PPS numbers to collect information on children who are emigrating, in terms of educational systems and structures and on how we operate in Tusla. That will be really good, and I look forward to coming back before the committee to present the learning across State services as a result of that check.
