I have been informed that Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, does not collate data on the number of pregnancies experienced by young people in residential care. 

When a young person in residential care becomes pregnant, a review of their statutory Care Plan is arranged, which aims to assess all of the needs of the young person. The planning process takes into consideration the current and future needs of the young person, and their child. The views of the young person are paramount to the process.
