Tusla in talks to stop leading residential care provider from shutting its centres

One of the country's main providers of residential places for children in care has effectively given notice that it is pulling its operation, with Tusla saying it is still in discussions over how to prevent that from happening.

The Irish Examiner understands that Positive Care Ireland issued letters on Wednesday March 30 outlining that, after not receiving any referrals from Tusla in almost a year due to issues in meeting procurement requirements, it was stopping operations in the near future.
