Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 April 2026
328. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the reason the director of special care in Tusla has been removed from their post, the grounds for this removal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27675/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraTusla, the Child and Family Agency, is an independent body, under the aegis of the Department of Children, Disability and Equality.
Tusla was set up under legislation to carry out vitally important and challenging work. Tusla's functions are prescribed under the Child and Family Agency Act 2013.
Tusla must deploy resources based on priority needs, best use of resources and ability to deliver on and implement policy. As this is a Human Resources matter, it is wholly within the control of Tusla, and is not a matter for me, as Minister or for the Department.
