Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (Cork South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

First, I record my condolences and those of my party to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Katherine Zappone, on her recent loss. I pay tribute to her late wife's extraordinary contribution to Irish life.

Following the recent report by Dr. Geoffrey Shannon and the subsequent "RTE Investigates" programme, does the Minister believe a full audit of Tusla's child protection responsibilities is required, with particular regard to the use of section 13?
