The information requested is not readily available in my Department. My officials have requested the information from Tusla and I will forward the reply to the Deputy once I have been furnished with it.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to your written Parliamentary Question, Ref: 34173/16 of 10 November 2016, requesting information in respect of the number of staff assigned to Tusla for the separated children team in each of the years 2000 to September, 2016.
As previously advised by me in my response of 10 November, the information was being compiled and was not available at that time. I have now received the information requested and the number of staff assigned to the Unaccompanied Minors Asylum Seekers Teams since the establishment of Tusla on 1 January 2014 is set out in the table.
