A crash on the M9 motorway on Sunday morning kills five teenagers, and one of the victims is confirmed to have been “in the care of Tusla,” Ireland’s Child and Family Agency. RTE News and the Irish Examiner report that two other boys who also die in the incident were known to Tusla.
Reports describe a car travelling the wrong way down the M9 before a head-on collision with another vehicle. The three outlets focus on the involvement of Tusla, but they differ in the level of detail provided: RTE News refers to a teenager without naming him, while the Irish Examiner identifies the victim as Jack Kennedy. The Irish Mirror also links the crash circumstances to the Tusla-care information but does not add substantially different context about the victims’ agency involvement.
Across the reports, Tusla confirms the care or prior engagement of the teenagers known to the agency, while the crash itself remains the central event under investigation by authorities.
