Mother accuses Tusla of not conducting thorough investigation into claim against foster father

A mother has accused Tusla of not conducting a thorough investigation, after her son claimed his foster father hurt him.

Margaret McCann, solicitor with the Legal Aid Board, told the Family Court that her client, the boy’s mother, was concerned about a claimed assault and the way Tusla, The Child and Family Agency, dealt with the allegation. Ms McCann said the boy recently alleged that he was kicked and hit by his foster father.
