Tusla ‘in dark’ about social worker and garda teams

Rape Crisis Network Ireland (RCNI) has said that Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, appeared to be “in the dark” regarding its own use of joint garda-social worker interview teams in child sexual violence cases.

The RCNI said that Children’s Minister Katherine Zappone had indicated that Tusla did not collect information on the number of interviews conducted by joint garda-Tusla interview teams.
