283. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of financial settlements reached by her Department and statutory bodies within her remit nationally; and the number which included confidentiality clauses in each of the past five years by organisation. [44056/19]

The information requested by the Deputy in respect of the Department and agencies other than Tusla is set out in tabular format as follows. I can confirm that there were no confidentiality clauses included in any of the settlements.

I have requested the information from Tusla and will revert to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
