Wed 06 Jun 2009Disappeared: 20-plus children missing from HSE care
Twenty-three children have gone missing from HSE-run hostels since the start of the year and 20 remain missing, the Health Service Executive has confirmed.
The children arrived in Ireland as “unaccompanied minors” and were housed in hostels as applications for asylum were processed. The figures, accurate to the end of May, compare with 22 who went missing in the whole of last year, five of whom were eventually accounted for.
