Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Apr 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: What Professor Gilligan is saying is that there needs to be a permanent commitment on that. My reading of it is that that is what is missing.

She explained to me how difficult it is to get a...
