No agreements as referred to by the Deputy have been entered into by my Department. The public bodies funded through my Department's Vote are the Adoption Authority of Ireland, the Child and Family Agency (Tusla), the Oberstown Children Detention Campus and the Ombudsman for Children's Office. My Department also provides the primary source of funding for Gaisce, the President's Award. Gaisce is a limited company set up under the Companies Acts. I am asking each of these bodies to respond directly to the Deputy.
