Departmental Bodies
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-17
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I should mention that I also attended the Old Bailey and, again, was always welcomed. To be told by an organisation of the State, with specific powers on behalf of the State to protect specific people, in this instance, children, I was amazed at such a response. I ask the Minister to take a look at the degree to which Tusla is being overshadowed by other Departments in this regard in order that it might pursue its responsibilities.
