I propose to take Questions Nos. 343 and 344 together.

I understand the Deputy to be referring to residential care, which is an operational matter for Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. I have therefore referred the matter to Tusla, and asked that a direct reply be provided to the Deputy in relation to their concerns.

I must advise the Deputy that I am not in a position to comment on individual cases. I can confirm that I have referred the matter to Tusla, the Child and Family Agency for their appropriate attention.
