I thank Deputy O'Sullivan. I will do that. We require additional resources in order to ensure that Tusla will have the capacity and also the ability to manage that capacity. I have requested that a project office would be established within Tusla to manage its responsibilities and contributions to meeting the Dáil resolution. The project office will co-ordinate work within Tusla's national remit and will work with relevant officials in the Department of Justice and Equality. It is expected that the project office will also co-ordinate Tusla's activities and responsibilities with Departments and agencies on the practical logistics of the care of children and young persons once they have arrived in this jurisdiction and that it will also liaise with NGOs and members of the public seeking to make supports available.
