Gordon Jeyes takes the long view of Tusla and HSE

There are, no doubt, some things Gordon Jeyes will miss when he steps down as Tusla chief executive this Friday, and you have to imagine the view from his desk is one of them, writes Noel Baker.

From his office on the fifth floor in a new development near Heuston Station, he can survey the gardens of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

The Child and Family Agency relocated to swanky new offices last March, months after it began work as a separate entity, as opposed to its previous incarnation as a part of the wider Health Service Executive.
