Vol. 108 No. 13

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Psychiatric Treatment.

asked the Minister for Education whether he intends to establish psychiatric treatment even on an experimental scale at Marlboro' House Detention Home.

I do not propose to provide psychiatric treatment at the institution mentioned. Boys are detained there only for very short periods, the average being from a week to ten days, and the maximum a month, and I am advised that effective psychiatric treatment would require a much longer period.

The Minister does not know what I am talking about.
