Evidence had been found which suggested teens were being groomed and at risk of sexual exploitation.

Requests to move the at-risk children weren't granted - so the private firm staff decided they needed to discharge the teens from their care.

Protocols brought in since the invasion of Ukraine mean the staff-to-children ratio in these facilities is not as strong as it is in Tusla care homes.
