Ms Kate Duggan:

Currently, within SEA providers, we engage with 14 companies, so currently there are 14 companies. We disengaged over the period since about 2022 with eight providers. We had some concerns. I have said this openly. We do not want children in unregulated and unregistered placements, we have reduced the number of children and young people in those placements, and now that we have the capital investment and the resource investment to open up our new residential units, we expect that number to decrease further. We disengaged with eight of them. Two of them members will have seen in the media. Where we had put in oversight and our systems picked up concerns with compliance, we notified them to An Garda Síochána.
