Minister tells Dáil nine of the 33 children currently missing disappeared last year and 22 are separated children seeking international protectionNine of the children went missing last year while 24 disappeared this year, according to the latest figures from July 4th.
Mr Burke said in the Dáil that 21 of the 22 children seeking international protection have been missing for more than two weeks. He added that “the vast majority” of them are over 16. The Tipperary TD pointed to another case raised earlier this year about “a 14-year-old girl who went missing within an hour of being placed by Tusla in State care, only to be found a year later locked in a brothel”.
He said it “beggars belief” that Tusla is “allowed to operate in breach of statutory obligations and flagrantly remain in contempt of High Court orders”.
