Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion
Mr. Ger Brophy:
The report is significant in that respect in that it brings this out and into the open. That has been enabling. The Minister was in here. He has been engaging with this organisation as well. We were recently engaging with this organisation too. We have written to them recently. There is an active engagement around that. The hope is that the powers that we have are sufficient. We have to exhaust those powers to encourage and to provide that structure. It is up to any organisation then to respond to that, which takes time.
