Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Eamonn Donnelly:

I was told that we had five minutes for our introductory remarks so I did not want to overload the committee with statistics but we have a far lower number of social workers per capitathan comparator countries. We can forward data on that to the Deputy. Tusla probably has data on that as well.
