Tusla, the Child and Family Protection Agency was last night branded a deadly place for children.
It came from the The Aontu leader Peadar Toibin who fumed: "Children in State care are being trafficked, murdered and abused at a colossal scale in this country, with huge numbers also dying from drug overdoses and suicide.
"These are some of the most vulnerable children in the country, for whom the State is responsible - the State is the parent of these children and it is utterly failing them.

He revealed that 227 children have died either known to state care or in state cases since 2014.
Among them was Kyran Durnin, the six year old missing in Drogheda for over two and a half years and now believed to be murdered.
