I propose to take Questions Nos. 334 and 354 together.

Separated Children Seeking International Protection (SCSIP) who arrive in Ireland are received into the care of Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. These children are placed by Tusla either in specialist residential care centres with a maximum of six children, or with specifically recruited foster families.

Activity and performance metric data is collated and reported on by Tusla on a routine basis in respect of child protection and welfare services, including SCSIP in the care of Tusla.
