I wish to advise the Deputy that operational responsibility for the delivery of child protection and welfare services is a matter for Tusla, the Child and Family Agency.

I can confirm that the matter has been referred to Tusla, for direct reply to the Deputy.

1101. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if it has been determined whether individuals referenced in the 365 cases of suspected child abuse in County Kerry which Tusla failed to refer to An Garda Síochána as identified in 2019 suffered abuse as an indirect result of the failure by Tusla to refer their cases to An Garda Síochána; and the number of persons who suffered abuse as a result or the estimated number (details supplied).
