Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency

2:00 am

Mr. Pat Smyth:

If we had bought that through a procured space and we have a fully regulated price, it would be more than that if we have to have one child in that placement. That's the critical factor here. The problem with a lot of unregulated placements is they are about trying to accommodate one kid. Our normal residential services are about accommodating four kids in a place.
