High Court grants orders allowing Tusla to secure vulnerable child's protection The case is due before the High Court again next month for review. 5.00pm, 30 Oct 2025 Share options THE PRESIDENT OF the High Court has granted orders to Tusla to secure the protection of a child described to the court as “very vulnerable” in order to allow the child receive therapeutic treatment. Orders were first made under the court’s minor wardship jurisdiction last Thursday to allow the child and family agency to secure the minor’s protection on an urgent basis. Those orders were continued in further hearings on Friday and on Tuesday of this week. The new orders were granted after the matter was subject to further evidence and argument today.

Guardians ad litem are independent experts appointed by the President of the High Court to give children in care a voice in any wardship proceedings. This case has been subject to ongoing reporting restrictions from Justice David Barniville, who is presiding over the matter. Today he furthered these restrictions but indicated that they will be kept under close review. The case will be reviewed in the High Court again on 20 November.
