Tusla, the Child and Family Agency has advised me that the Board of Tusla was not furnished with a copy of the report referred to by the Deputy. A copy of the report was furnished to the Chairperson of the Special Inquiries Committee, a sub-committee of the Board, in April 2018.

I can assure the Deputy that I have sought written clarification from Tusla in relation to a number of matters regarding this report.

The sub-committee of the Board of Tusla has advised me that the matters raised by the Deputy will be part of the investigation, which is currently underway.
