Paul McAuliffe: You are a regulator and those AHBs are relying on people to give voluntarily of their own time and expertise to manage public funds to the tune of millions. It is a fundamental flaw in the governance structure that we are expecting people to volunteer their time. That is a weakness in the governance model.

Paul McAuliffe: Where they present-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
Paul McAuliffe: It is not at a port or a point of entry into the country.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
Paul McAuliffe: If a child presents at an international protection office, is there a protocol in place as to how the International Protection Office alerts Tusla-----

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
Paul McAuliffe: As the person with responsibility for the Child and Family Agency, Ms Duggan is also responsible for the resources it has. I presume she would have some concerns that the resources that it perhaps needs to be directed elsewhere might not be appropriately directed if there are a large number of claims which are not correct.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
Paul McAuliffe: No, that is not the question.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
Paul McAuliffe: The question I am asking is, is there an ongoing review of those presentations to ensure that there is an appropriate role for Tusla in that?
