Tusla has said there are plans to find a replacement service for a teenager-only hostel in Dublin City centre which is due to close.
The Nightlight service at Lefroy House on Eden Quay has been operating for more than 20 years, providing a hostel service for up to seven teenagers aged 12 to 18 and support flats for 17- and 18-year-olds. Nightlight is operated by the Salvation Army and the supported flats are managed by Tusla, but it has emerged both are now withdrawing funding.
