Irish children in British care placements will not be affected by no-deal Brexit, Tusla says

With plans for Brexit in flux, Tusla said it is satisfied that Irish children will not be affected.

The Child and Family Agency has offered an assurance that any Irish child placed in a British care placement will not be affected by Brexit, in the event of no deal being struck.

The most recent data published by Tusla showed that as of the end of last year 22 Irish children were in out-of-state placements, the vast majority of which are understood to be in the United Kingdom.
