Special Care System on Edge | Dublin News

from Dublin News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Tusla’s special care system for kids is on the brink, with frontline workers sounding the alarm in urgent letters to the Minister. Staff at Crannóg Nua report crumbling morale, crippling staff shortages—only 14 of 26 beds are available—and alarming absenteeism rates as high as 35%. Kids needing care are being left without beds despite court orders, while security guards are now deployed just to maintain safety. Despite promises of new worker grades and reassurances from the department, staff feel betrayed after the national director’s removal and say the system is unsustainable without immediate, serious intervention.
