I can inform the Deputy that this information is not collated centrally by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. Prior to the establishment of Tusla in 2014, the functions of child welfare and protection were carried out by the Health Services Executive.

I must apologise to the Deputy that I do not have the information she requests in answer to this Parliamentary Question and PQ 46974/18 and PQ 46976/18. I appreciate she has sought this information from both the Department of Health and from my Department without success. I will ask my officials to write to the Deputy with a more detailed explanation.

I can inform the Deputy that this information is not collated by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. Prior to the establishment of Tusla in 2014, the functions of child welfare and protection were carried out by the Health Services Executive. I would note that family law proceedings are held in cameraand it may not be possible to collate such information as a result.
