Tusla, the child and family agency, has not complied with the order due to a lack of available beds in the State’s three secure care units.

Judge John Jordan said it was “not surprising” that the girl’s situation was getting worse in circumstances where she should be in special care, but is not.

High Court president Mr Justice David Barniville granted the orders on Thursday to secure the child’s protection and to allow for therapeutic care and treatment

The child was represented in court by a court-appointed advocate. Her parents were also legally represented at the hearing, as was the HSE.
