Tusla Cuts Funding To Catholic Church Marriage Preparation Course
Tusla, the statutory child and family agency, will no longer fund a marriage preparation course run by the Catholic Church.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Tusla Chief Executive Gordon Jeyes said that the agency needed to "live within its means when cuts were being made".
He added that money was being taken from "every organisation, irrespective of where it sits".
President of Catholic marriage advisory agency Accord, Bishop Denis Nulty, said he was "baffled" by the move.
It is understood that he has called for a meeting with James Reilly, the Minister for Children and Young Affair.
