Child and Family Agency

============================================================

Kathleen Funchion (SF), Carlow-Kilkenny

This question follows on from a written parliamentary question I tabled on the number of children in care who are awaiting the allocation of a qualified social worker and what measures, particularly as we come into budget season, the Department is proposing to tackle the shortfall in social workers in Tusla. What measures are there to address the deficit in available data? That is one of the issues. I will go into it further in my supplementary question.
