## Resource

A whistleblower has exposed serious flaws in how unaccompanied minors are being handled by Tusla, revealing that critical face-to-face family reunification checks are often skipped or done over the phone — sometimes even without any proof of family ties. Former Dublin Airport border officers raised alarms, pointing to agents handing over kids with vague claims or notes, while Hiqa labeled the evidence “of serious concern.” Though Tusla won’t comment on specifics, the case underscores urgent risks in protecting vulnerable children and has triggered a formal investigation.
