- Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Robert Troy: I see there is a small reduction in the budget this year for the Adoption Authority of Ireland and I see also that the staff number has been reduced from 32 to 25. Does that reflect a decrease in the number of applications coming to the authority? I understood there could be an increase in the number of applications. If so, is it right to reduce its budget now? Can the Minister clarify...
