I’m sorry mate, but having read this post and what follows what have TUSLA done wrong here? It sounds like a matter for the Gardai in the first place,
I’d say it’s completely underfunded, as in there’s not enough hours in the day in a country like this (social deprivation and alcoholism rampant) for a body likeTUSLA to please everybody, I know from my own experience that when they do get involved they put in the work and they’re generally good sorts

with all due respect BIAT, youre only seeing one aspect of a multifaceted issue. the CFA alone is not the nly issue. there’s the legislation which means the matter comes back to court every 28 days which means that social workers are gving evidence or writing reports when they should be in the field working with families. then there’s the money thats pissed up against the wall in legal fees and the money spent on guardians ad litems and their legal teams (another rant for another day). it represents about 4% of the entire budget, money that could be better spent on S&L, art therapy, family interventions etc

the care orders should be at least 6 months as it would allow a working relationship to occur between the social workers and the families that they are working with. earlier interventions are essential as they will also lead to less court action and better outcomes for families.

Joe Duffy is getting the live line extended to a four hour show

[Crutches]

It’ll definitely be with listening to

[Bod95]

I’ll ring now to make sure I get on

[Crutches]

Hard to see how this won’t be a disaster when on average everyone will be docked one grade

[Thomas_Brady]

Shur if everyone is docked it’s all good … dock em all or inflate them all - still the same thing.

[Copper_pipe]

I’ll have 15 phones on the go trying to get on and then I’ll sell the time on the air.

[Crutches]

But someone will be docked a grade in two subjects and someone else won’t be docked at all and then all hell will break loose

[Bod95]

Surely it will be one grade across the board 17% of 7 is less than 1.5 so that would be the fairest way to go

[TreatyStones]

The number of Grade 1s awarded at higher level would have doubled and tripled in some subjects if they had just accepted the teachers gradings.

[Thomas_Brady]

If youre good enough go out and get it and no more about it.
If your mother sends you to the shop with 50p to get a pounds worth of goods you cant get the pounds worth of goods can you?

[Crutches]

That’s just a flat penalty then, so no doubt you’ll have people up in arms then again

[Bod95]

Not really according to Gav Reilly only 0.1% will be downgraded 2 or more grades if everyone of the 57k is downgraded one grade it’s fair.
