I am deeply saddened by the incident that took place at a Tusla care facility in Donaghmede earlier today.
This is a truly shocking event and my thoughts are with all those impacted by it, in particular the bereaved family and those injured.
The loss of life is unconscionable and the focus now must be on the welfare and safety of the young people and staff at the facility.
Tusla has said that additional supports will be provided to everyone directly affected. I ask that An Garda Síochána be given the time and space to conduct an investigation.
