My question is particularly relevant this week given some of the things we have, unfortunately, seen in the news. What engagement has the Minister and his Department had with Tusla on its struggles to respond to increased demand for its services, given that this increased demand, together with the complex needs of the children and young people presenting, have swamped the agency? I ask him to make a statement on this matter, particularly the special emergency arrangements.
