Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Tusla

Mr. Jim Gibson:

As chief operations officer, I really welcome Deputy Neville's commentary about social workers. They work in very hostile environments at times and we should commend social workers and social care workers who remain in posts and deliver a child protection welfare service. I thank the Deputy for that.
