The Early Years Inspectorate in Tusla (the Child and Family Agency) is aware of the circumstances of the Registered Provider given in details provided by the TD and is working to finalise this matter as expeditiously as possible.

A previous response was given in relation to this case in Parliamentary Question No. 209 of 17 October 2018

The Early Years Inspectorate continues to engage with the Registered Provider of this service as part of the inspection and registration process. A meeting was held with the Registered Provider on 12 November 2018 to discuss actions to be taken to address outstanding issues. It was agreed with the Inspectorate that the Registered Provider would submit outstanding documentary evidence of compliance within five days of this meeting. This documentary evidence, which was not received by the Inspectorate until 6 December, has been reviewed by the Inspectorate and the final Inspection Report on this matter has been finalised. This Inspection Report is scheduled to be discussed at a meeting of the Early Years Registration Panel on 18 December, and a response on this matter will issue to the Registered Provider shortly thereafter.
