Tusla Report: ‘Long delays’ in dealing with abuse claims

Tusla, the child and family agency, has been found to have “serious failings” in how it carries out its role.

In an investigation by the Office of the Ombudsman into how Tusla handles complaints, it was found there were “long delays” in dealing with allegations of abuse.

Other findings showed Tusla failed to follow its own procedures when keeping social work records.
