Tusla has confirmed one of the teenagers who died when a car drove the wrong way down the motorway was in its care.

The State is being accused of having responsibility in the crash on the M9 last weekend that killed five teens.

Tusla has confirmed one of the teenagers who died when a car drove the wrong way down the motorway was in its care.

Aontú is describing it as "shocking," saying over 200 children have died in the agency's care or known to Tusla in the last 10 years.

It comes as the funeral for one of the boys will take place later today, with another on Monday.

Meanwhile, Sinn Fein wants social media companies to be held accountable for glorifying illegal activities including driving the wrong way on motorways.

However, TikTok has refused to appear before the Oireachtas Media Committee to face questions after a car drove the wrong direction on the M9 last weekend.
