Exactly, yes. It was reported, obviously.
I asked Mr. Gloster to respond to the Ballymun - A Brighter Future report. As Ms Duggan will be aware, it was commissioned by Dublin City Council and it sought to address the issue of the challenge of the lack of social workers within the north city area. One of the recommendations of the report was that a number of senior social workers would be appointed, the idea being that people would be more likely to take up a senior social worker position and that they would stay in the area for a longer period. A total of 15 was identified, not only for the Ballymun areas but for the wider area. Could Ms Duggan comment on that issue and how Tusla might respond to the report?
