The Secretary General told me heads of a Bill are being worked on for guardians ad litem.

The issue here is that Tusla, which is the paymaster, and Mr. Fred McBride, who was before the committee, said the organisation is operating at the limit of its powers and has no legal authority to do so. This is a very serious issue where we have millions of taxpayers' money being spent without any proper checks and balances in place. Given the seriousness of the services that guardians ad litemprovide to children at risk, it is very important that this legislation is prioritised.
