Challenges Facing Refugee and Migrant Children in Ireland: Discussion

Ms Clare Murphy:

Yes, it was 176 up to 2023 and since 2023 we have provided a placement for 256 additional children. I am trying to make the point that it is putting pressure on a system that was already under pressure. I was making the point that while we would love to find a culturally appropriate placement, we have limited resources.
