Vol. 451 No. 8

Written Answers. - Residential Care for Dublin Child.

Tony Gregory

Question:

88 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Health the steps, if any, that are being taken to provide residential or appropriate care to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 1 who has been identified as being at risk. [7534/95]

I understand from the Eastern Health Board that the board has been working intensively with the child in question and his family for some time. The child is regarded as out of control and there have been difficulties in securing an appropriate placement for him. Pending the identification of a suitable placement the board has offered the child a place in one of its neighbourhood youth projects but this offer has not yet been taken up.
