View answerThank you Deputy for your question relating to Tusla funding.
A 10% increase in total overall funding, over the 2025 allocation, would cost an additional €128 million and bring Tusla funding to a level of €1,406 million
In 2025, Tusla will have a total funding allocation of approximately €1,278 million from exchequer funding. This includes funding from both DCEDIY and the Department of Education.
This represents an increase of some €145 million (12%) over the equivalent total allocation in 2024 which was €1,133 million.
