Report of the Accounts of the Public Services 2015
Chapter 11 - Guardian Ad Litem Service

Dr. Fergal Lynch:

Yes, we had detailed discussions. In fact, the Department was one of the first bodies we spoke to, in the context of private law as well as public law cases. Could I correct myself, Deputy? I may have said earlier that the procurement would be by Tusla. I should have said that the procurement would be by the Minister and the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. I apologise if there was any confusion there.
