Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs her views on reports that Tusla has moved the threshold for the protection and welfare of children from adequate care and protection to children being at risk of significant harm, and that harm is now being measured on whether the impact on the child is severe; if these changes have been introduced in view of the fact that Ireland has approximately half the number of social workers per capita when compared to neighbouring countries; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
