Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

-----there will perhaps be an opportunity to explore this matter directly with its representatives in more detail. I am certainly happy. As the Deputy knows, I have a quarterly meeting with Tusla. Perhaps I could raise that specific issue with HIQA at the next quarterly meeting and continue that discussion.
It is positive to see that some of these complaints are being resolved at a local basis. Obviously, there are times when complaints need to be elevated further. Of course, in a situation where even at the end of stage 4 of the Tusla process there is not satisfaction, the issue can be raised with the Ombudsman for Children's office, which, as the Deputy knows, is a statutorily independent office that is very vigorous in terms of pursuing issues like this.
