An Irish charity is warning unaccompanied migrant children are dropping out of education - because of disputes about their age.
Migrant rights charity 'Nasc' says children who turn 18 in school are switched from family accommodation to adult Direct Provision centres, just as they start their exams.
It also claims there are cases where ages are in dispute - with the potential for children as young as 16 to be classified as adults.
Spokesperson Olivia Teahan, says that can lead to a whole range of difficulties.
