The Department of Children and Youth Affairs does have any land not in use, nor does it own, rent or lease any vacant properties.
The Adoption Authority, the Ombudsman for Children and Oberstown Children Detention Centre have confirmed a similar position.
Tusla has confirmed that it has three properties that meet this criteria as outlined as follows.
