Social Democrats spokesperson for children said that without any funding it was 'borderline disingenuous' of Tusla to call it a college

The Government is yet to allocate any funds towards a new Tusla training college, despite it being formally established in March.

The Children’s Residential Services Training College aims to increase the level of workers in the sector and “develop a sustainable workforce capable of delivering current and future service needs”.
