There are 54 separated children seeking international protection in Tusla's care.

The public's being asked to provide homes and care for separated children who're seeking international protection.

The campaign by Tusla is the first of its kind and runs until Sunday.

It follows a commitment by government in 2018 to accept 36 unaccompanied minors from Greece - the remaining 15 of those due to arrive here this month.

The child and family agency says at the end of July, it had 54 separated children seeking international protection in its care.
