HSE engagement can be a challenge and I am not sure whether Tusla is aware of that. Given that the HSE is a mammoth organisation in its own right, it can be difficult to get representation and consistency. Another challenge is that, very often, CYPSCs are built on relationships, namely, between the co-ordinator, the sub-committees established and the people on them. If those people move on, the relationships can fall away, and one must start from scratch and build from the ground up, which is inefficient.

I am aware of the plan being launched. There have been some conversations about the potential to put CYPSC on a statutory footing and give it a stronger base. What are Tusla's plans to strengthen that concept and to allow it to grow and do better?
