Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency

2:00 am

Ms Kate Duggan:

To open 110 beds we need a capital investment and a resourcing investment. When we talk about 110 beds, we talk about 25 residential units. We will be on track to deliver 24 of those by the end of 2026.

It would be remiss of me not to say that while we are on a trajectory to do that, we had this increase where we have had to accommodate 528 separated children seeking international protection.
