Not fit for purpose

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency of Ireland, has tragically failed the very children it is meant to protect. Numerous reports and personal testimonies have surfaced stating that Tusla's actions have not only failed to uphold the rights of parents, but have also caused irreparable harm by breaking the bonds between parents and children. This breach of trust is a gross violation of the rights of vulnerable families and demands immediate attention and action.

Social workers employed by Tusla are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the welfare and care of children. Unfortunately, instead of safeguarding this trust, there have been instances where Tusla employees have allegedly failed to follow court orders and have committed perjury, further damaging the trust that already fragile families place in them.

The ramifications of these actions are far-reaching, with children facing potentially lifelong impacts due to broken family bonds and parents left feeling powerless and disenfranchised. We propose that the courts take immediate steps to address these failings and restore accountability within Tusla.

We call for a comprehensive investigation into the operations of Tusla and demand that measures be put in place to ensure adherence to court orders. Moreover, staff found guilty of perjury or breaching these orders should face appropriate legal consequences, including fines and potential prison sentences.

Implementing these steps will not only hold Tusla accountable but will also ensure the future well-being and security of the children under their care. Sign this petition to stand with us, hold Tusla accountable, and protect the future of Ireland's children.
