Tusla, the Child and Family Agency receives annual funding from the Exchequer under my Department's Vote (Vote 40). The budgetary allocation to Tusla under sub-head A3 for each of the years in question is set out in Table 1.

Tusla also receives budgetary allocations from other areas of my Departments Vote that include Early Years Pre-School Inspectorate, Children and Young Person's Services Committees (CYPSC), Outcomes for Children Quality and Capacity Building Initiative (QCBI) and the Area-Based Childhood (ABC) programme. 

In addition to receiving funding from my Department's Vote, Tusla received income from the following sources as highlighted in Table 2 (Reference Tusla's Annual Financial Statements 2015 - 2018).
