Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Tusla

Mr. Pat Smyth:

I do not mean that. It is an overall picture which tells how we started off five years ago in the equivalent of the 1970s in terms of automation. What has happened is that the NCCIS, which is the core information system in the organisation around child protection, only landed with us in 2018. There is still work ongoing to bed that fully into the organisation.
