I also wish to inform the Deputy that the Irish Youth Justice Service (IYJS) - Community Programmes has no capital spending on construction projects for the years 2008-2014. For the years 2008-2011, the IYJS - Centres for Young Offenders did have a capital budget. This responsibility and budget transferred to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs with effect from 1 January 2012. The overall capital spending for Centres for Young Offenders for 2008-2011 is set out in the following table. Some of this spending went to the Office of Public Works. The construction element is not readily available.
