The number of students reported to Tusla for poor school attendance significantly increased, with more than 9,000 referrals made in the last academic year. A Children Missing in Education (CME) team was established in July in the wake of the Kyran Durnin case. The CME team is tasked with locating children who are missing from school. The team's work includes checks and collaboration across government departments and agencies to trace and support absent pupils. The initiative aims to improve oversight and follow-up for persistent non-attendance and reduce the number of children unaccounted for by the education system.
