Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency

Mr. Pat Smyth:

That is the expected cost for what we call the mainstreams. SEAs are used for two groups. One is for kids in mainstream services and that €35 million applies there. We use SEAs for the separated children as well. In that case the average cost reduces to €200,000 per child. It just relates to the mainstream.
