- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
John Brady: Is it the case that these children are going into special emergency arrangements because there is nowhere else to put them? Is that basically what Ms Duggan is saying?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
John Brady: There are 46, so we are not even 50% of the way. How many does Ms Duggan think we will have by the year end?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
John Brady: He spoke only last year about reaching the objective of 110 residential care bed placements by the end of 2025. That was after everything that has happened in the world.

John Brady: From the statement Ms Duggan made, were the majority previously in other forms of residential placement?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
John Brady: I am conscious of time. For me, that is not value for money. We need to invest in new residential care placements. Currently, the cost is €700,000 per child in accommodation that does not meet the care standards. That is concerning to say the least. Could I get a breakdown showing the comparison between the special emergency arrangements? I do not expect to get the figures now...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)

John Brady: Just to conclude, it would be helpful if we could we get a breakdown by area of the number of SEAs, the number of children placed, monthly costs, and how that then compares with the voluntary and statutory sector as well.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
John Brady: I will leave it at that. I am conscious that other members want to come back in for supplementary questions. I will go back to Deputy Geoghegan.
