The Deputy will be aware that I have sought written clarification from Tusla, the Child and Family Agency in relation to a number of matters regarding the report referred to by the Deputy.

I am aware that an individual has asked the Chairperson of a sub-committee of the Tusla Board for the information to which the Deputy refers.

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 under way.

516. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if it is customary for Tusla management to withhold reports dealing with serious and long-standing child protection issues from its board and her Department. [10921/19]

I would like to assure the Deputy that it is not customary for Tusla management to withhold reports dealing with serious and longstanding child protection issues from the Tusla Board or my Department.

As a State Body, and like other State bodies, Tusla management may commission and/or produce reports for its own purposes, which may not necessarily be shared with the Board or my Department.

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency has advised me that it is not aware of any existing finished reports in its possession which have not been shared with the appropriate level of governance.

I would also like to inform the Deputy that I am not aware of any such reports in my Department which have not been shared with the appropriate level of governance.
