Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Care Law Reporting Project (24 Oct 2024)

Bernard Durkan: Will the Minister indicate the extent, if any, to which intervention on behalf of children is restricted where those children are the subject matter of litigation in the family law courts? Has the in camera rule restricted the ability of Tusla to intercede on their behalf?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Care Law Reporting Project (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank Deputy Durkan. I will need to come back to him if I am to give him a comprehensive answer. If it is all right, I will come back to him in writing on that question. The tendering process will begin in November. I met with the Child Law Project in March and set out our position. We have brought in legislation on assisted decision-making, which also involves a reporting element....

Paul Murphy: 4. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if Tusla has stopped using the services of a company (details supplied); if so, when it stopped; to provide details of payments to the company in 2024; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43567/24]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Child and Family Agency (24 Oct 2024)

Paul Murphy: Has Tusla stopped using the services of Supervised Access Ireland? I spoke about this in the Dáil last week when we were making statements on child protection. There are a number of serious issues with Supervised Access Ireland, including the treatment of workers and the overcharging of parents using its services. It seems that Supervised Access Ireland received a fair bit of money in...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Child and Family Agency (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: Following issues with this service provider, Tusla's director of services issued a direction to all regional chief officers on 15 January of this year to stop using the services of this company. Tusla informed my Department on 10 September that one Tusla local area inadvertently re-engaged this particular service. The service was wrongly engaged for supervised access where another funded...

Paul Murphy: Was that in 2024?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Child and Family Agency (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: Yes, it was this year. Tusla has advised that this arrangement ceased on 8 October this year. Two children in a sibling group availed of this service for supervised access in one local area. It was one family. This company supervised four visits. I want to make it clear that this is not acceptable and should not have happened. We have raised the issue directly with Tusla. The spend...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Child and Family Agency (24 Oct 2024)

Paul Murphy: I have two follow-up questions. Does the Minister know whether any other State body continues to have contracts with this company? I do not have the information in front of me but, as far as I know, even after Tusla had stopped using this service, with the exception of the unit that continued to do so, another arm of the State was continuing to use the company's services. On the broader...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Child and Family Agency (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: I always have a preference for the public over the private, particularly in the area of child law and child protection. It is a real concern to me that, because of Tusla's past deficits in recruitment, it is too reliant on private sector providers, whether for supervised access, residential services or fostering services. That is why I have put a lot of investment into Tusla. More than...
