A shortage of foster carers in Kilkenny, Carlow and south Tipperary is stretching resources.

That’s according to Assessment Team Leader Kaye Fennessy for Carlow, Kilkenny and South Tipperary Tusla.

Currently there a 211 carers looking after approximately 320 children across the three areas.

Kaye says they are looking for different types of foster carers:

“We’re looking for people from a wide variety of diverse backgrounds. Our children are unique and different, so therefore we need a unique and kind of diverse group of carers to help respond and meet their needs. There isn’t one particular profile. We have lots of carers who maybe are co-habiting or living on their own, and single carers. We have families who have children and we have families who don’t.”
