Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 833, 834 and 835 together.

As questions 36691; 36692; 36693 are all related to "emergency child removals" managed by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, these questions have been composited and referred to the Agency to reply directly to the Deputy.

Question No. 834 answered with Question No. 833.
Question No. 835 answered with Question No. 833.
