The Child and Family Agency (Tusla) has advised that at present, there are 3589.24 whole-time equivalent staff directly employed. As Tusla records its data by administrative area as opposed to on a county basis, a breakdown by county is not available. The breakdown by administrative area is set out in tabular format below. The Deputy should note that the classification 'Corporate' includes national services such as early years services and adoption.
