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.

The report referred to by the Deputy was commissioned by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency.
