Tusla

Also known as Child and Family Agency and Tusla - Child and Family Agency.

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, is an independent agency answerable to the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality. It took on functions previously divided among the Health Service Executive's children and family services, the Family Support Agency and the National Educational Welfare Board. The name is intended to suggest the Irish words for a beginning and a day.

The Child and Family Agency Act 2013 established the agency and dissolved the Family Support Agency and the National Educational Welfare Board, transferring functions to the new agency. S.I. No. 503/2013 appointed 1 January 2014 as the establishment day.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
