- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: Tusla has contracted the lot of it out to the agency that does it in England. Why not contract it to a facility in Ireland instead? It is far more traumatic telling a 15 year old that they are being sent to England for two years.

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: On behalf of children and the taxpayer, given that Tusla is paying €600,000 or €700,000, I ask Mr. Smyth to talk about the level of inspection, audit and verification in the treatment of the children. He knows I am talking about issues in the public arena.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: Just so that we understand it, do they simply land or does the facility in England require them to go over to see if it thinks it is suitable to take them? Do persons from the facility in England come here to meet the children first? One cannot just say "They are gone". Can Mr. Smyth talk to me about how the child is deemed suitable from both sides?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: Do not get into any specific details. The following is more of a public issue. There were problems in the past where gardaí felt there were credible reports of issues of concern regarding children in foster care in a family setting where those families had children of their own. How urgently does Tusla triage those cases now? Mr. Smyth probably knows the type of cases I am talking...

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: We are talking about learning. My next point is in the same space. What learning can Tusla do from the following? I have a specific case in mind but will speak generally rather than to get into that. I refer to circumstances in which a couple with their own children take in a couple of foster children. It happens all over the place. Let us say a foster child in the care setting does...

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: One must ask where we would be without them, collectively. On that note of appreciation for the work foster carers do, I thank the witnesses for their attendance. The committee is agreeing that the Clerk will follow up on any of the information requested by members from witnesses directly. They will liaise with the clerk to get the volume of information. There are figures in the Tusla...
