Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

The Deputy's point on technology is important. Tusla has been recognised across Europe as being one of the social worker agencies that was quickest to move to work online during the Covid pandemic. I wish to recognise the work Tusla has done there. The Deputy may not be aware that TESS is moving out of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and moving over to the Department of Education and Skills. I think the Deputy may regard that as a good thing. Two of the three partners in this regard are being amalgamated. That is one of the changes in function that will take place quite soon.
