The Minister might clarify the outline of the out-of-hours service for the gardaí calling on Tusla social workers. The Minister mentioned some areas of the country, such as Dublin and Cork. If I remember correctly, she stated that this may be rolled out a bit further. I seek clarification on where it will be rolled out, what timelines are involved and what parts of the country may be covered.
