Huge demand for Tusla services to result in €68m overspend this year, says agency

Tusla said there was likely to be an overspend of €38.8m on placements for special care, fostering, and private residential arrangements.
Tusla has warned it will blow its budget by nearly €68m this year as it struggles to deal with huge demand for its services.
The child and family agency warned in an update in May that it had already overspent by €8.9m but this figure was likely to multiply by the end of the year.
