Gardaí working on plan to share child abuse information

Report found children who have been sexually abused are facing 'undue delays' accessing the justice system in Ireland.

Garda HQ says it is developing a data-sharing agreement with Tusla to clear a long-running blockage preventing the transmission of important information in child sex abuse cases between the agencies at specialist facilities.

The confirmation follows a heavily-critical report from the European Union and the Council of Europe into conflicting approaches by the agencies operating in a new dedicated unit for child victims of abuse.
