Tusla mistakes ‘indefensible’

Evidence heard by the Disclosures Tribunal was “indefensible” and will be acted upon, says the head of Tusla.

Tusla CEO Fred McBride admitted “significant mistakes” have been made by those working for the agency and has vowed that people will be held to account.

The tribunal has heard that, because of an administrative error, a Tusla file relating to garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe contained details of a serious assault from an unrelated case.
