Teens fall through the cracks as child protection services fail

TRACY FAY. It’s a name that should never be forgotten.

Tracy was 14 when she was voluntarily placed in the care of the state. Just four years later, her short and tragic life ended in the most ignominious of ways.

In 2002 her body was found in a disused coal bunker used by drug addicts off Granby Row in Dublin’s north inner city.
