An inquiry revealed that Tusla, the child and family agency, has faced significant failures by not adhering to numerous court orders regarding the welfare of approximately 250 vulnerable children. Despite agency head Kate Duggan being aware of the issues as early as 2022, no remedial actions were taken. This widespread noncompliance raises serious concerns about the agency's effectiveness in protecting children under its care, highlighting systemic issues within Tusla.
"Tusla has been involved in an 'extraordinary' and 'widespread' failure to comply with hundreds of court orders in respect of vulnerable children in its care."
"An inquiry by a judge determined the child and family agency has failed to comply with court directions affecting around 250 children."
