I will raise that with Tusla. It certainly should be published.

I want Deputy Rabbitte to know that I do have concerns in relation to dealing with adult disclosure cases or retrospective cases. I would like to see timelines on when they have been allocated. Those are some questions that I will be raising with Tusla representatives when I meet them next week.

As Deputy Rabbitte will be aware, Tusla conducted a national review of cases awaiting allocation which included information on a number of retrospective cases. The review showed, at February 2015, that of the 8,865 cases awaiting allocation nationally, there were 1,204 cases of retrospective abuse disclosure. The review indicated that of these 1,204 retrospective case, 27% were a high priority, 46% medium priority and 20% low priority.
