Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Barry Andrews)

I have been informed by the Irish Youth Justice Service that the Labour Court Recommendation in this regard was referred to the Department of Finance for their approval to implement it. I understand that the Department is currently examining the Recommendation and has sought some clarification from the Labour Court on issues arising from it. A final decision on the matter will be taken in light of that clarification.
