Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Verona Murphy: Regarding Tusla, the Department's interventions and the funding, does the Department provide for respite care for the Tusla children groupings such as foster carers in a capital plan? These include foster carers who have taken care of autistic children for years but there is no respite for them.
