Carrick-on-Shannon Tusla building

Summary

Deputy McLoughlin asks for an update on redevelopment of a Tusla building in Carrick-on-Shannon that was due to start in September. The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs says the board approved development in July and she will find the next scheduled time.

The programme for Government contains specific commitments regarding promoting and protecting the well-being of children in this country. However, a building acquired some time ago in Carrick-on-Shannon has been awaiting redevelopment by Tusla for a very long period. What is the update? I was given a commitment that this work would start in September and I think it is vitally important that this work starts as a matter of urgency.

Comment on this

I will ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs to answer that question.
