I propose to take Questions Nos. 87 and 88 together.

The Deputy will appreciate that I have no ministerial responsibility in relation to TUSLA.

My Department was not consulted about nor informed in advance of the issuing of an apology by TUSLA to the person in question. Accordingly, there were no discussions of the kind referred to by the Deputy in advance of the issuing of an apology.
