Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Governance and Control Procedures in Tusla - Child and Family Agency: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Fred McBride:
On the question of whether it is the case that where there is not a specifically named child at risk, these cases are treated as a priority, than where a named child is at risk, I explained earlier the answer to that is "yes" unless there is very specific information that a child or children may be at current risk. In that case the child would be treated with the same priority as any other child who may be at current or immediate risk.
