Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency

2:00 am

Ms Kate Duggan:

We have an operational engagement with the North of Ireland in terms of our equivalent team there. We obviously have our international social work services. We have somebody who is dedicated to international social work services. Again, in circumstances where any child could be taken to England or to Europe by family or friends, we have those links. Obviously, the reason we continue reporting this information every week is because when we report it live, it remains live with An Garda Síochána in its engagements with Interpol. We have had situations where young people have been found and identified. I can think of one situation in Europe. I certainly have not been made aware of a bad outcome. I will go to Mr. Hone in case there has been anything over the past couple of years.
