A child in Tusla's foster care service was not visited by a social worker for over three years, a damning report has revealed.
An inspection report by the Health Information and Quality Authority, (HIQA) has also shown there were at least 63 children in foster care overdue a statutory visit at the end of March this year in the north city area of Dublin.
Throughout the HIQA review, it became apparent through a review of files that there were significant periods where children in care were not visited in line with statutory requirements.
