Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan said that having two active cases where children previously involved with Tusla are missing and presumed dead is “concerning.”

Gardaí said they are investigating the disappearance of a boy, who would now be seven years old, and who last lived in an apartment in Donabate, north Dublin.
