Topical Issue Debate: Pension Provisions (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I welcome the Minister's response. She is right that the trustees have huge power in this area and that is where it really rests. That is a legislative shortcoming and I welcome the Taoiseach's remarks last week that the area is under review and that the Pensions Authority is going to look at making sure that trustees behave in a more accountable and transparent way. I welcome that the...

Topical Issue Debate: Pension Provisions (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I know Deputy Chambers cannot be here, so can we have two minutes each? It would only be the same as the length of the Minister's reply.

Topical Issue Debate: Pension Provisions (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I know Deputies Chambers and Darragh O'Brien were keen to be here today. They would be singing very much from the same hymn sheet as us on this matter. This is urgent because the wind-up of the financial interest of the scheme is under way. The scheme was in existence for eight years. As Deputy Broughan has said, workers paid in an average 6% per head, including the employer...

Other Questions: Child Protection (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I am concerned. We know One In Four recently criticised Tusla's handling of cases sent to it and what it sees as a failure to investigate properly.

Given that many serious issues were flagged around 2015, it is concerning that the number of unallocated...

Other Questions: Child Protection (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: That is one way of looking at it. From our dealings with An Garda Síochána, we saw that there was a tendency in some instances to recategorise crimes in order to make them seem less serious than they were. From the point of view of cases classified as high priority, what investigations, if any, have been carried out? I am aware of anecdotal evidence in one or two areas where...

Other Questions: Child Protection (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: 35. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the status of the 572 adult retrospective reports of abuse that were unallocated by Tusla in June 2017; and if the number of unallocated cases in this category has increased or decreased in the period since June 2017. [43745/17]

Other Questions: Child Protection (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: The Minister told me in September that at the end of June, 572 retrospective abuse cases were awaiting allocation. Actions had been taken in respect of just 4% of those cases at that time. At that stage, 70% of cases had been live for at least two months. Does Tusla have any plans for a system-wide approach to change that? What is the status of it now? Are any efforts being made to clear...
