THE HSE is investigating claims that a 16-year-old boy in care was left overnight in an internet café because there was no suitable place to accommodate him.

The claim was made by Fine Gael TD Alan Shatter yesterday in the Dáil, who also revealed that Daniel McAnaspie (17), who is from Finglas, Dublin, and has been missing for 13 days, is in State care.
