Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister and I agree with him that there may be a possibility to short-circuit this and sort this problem. We were talking about sponsors and the people I have spoken to would say that if a problem could be circumvented without their having to deal with Tusla, that would be an advantage. I accept that parents can be iffy at times in dealing with Tusla and State agencies. We need something that is simple to use and is not a bureaucratic nightmare. I would appreciate it if the Minister came back to me. It is one of these issues that is capable of being sorted and we need to sort it so that the services that are necessary stay up and running and that we do not let down the kids that require these services.
