Anne Rabbitte

Question:

266. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she met with the Minister for Justice and Equality or officials from his Department regarding revelations in September 2018 which showed that a person that was deemed likely responsible for the murder of a person in the Leinster region had benefited from at least eight different youth liaison officers.

Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

I am aware of the media reports that the Deputy refers to.

However, this matter falls solely under the remit of the Minister for Justice and Equality and therefore there has not been meetings between myself and the Minister for Justice and Equality or officials from his Department  regarding this matter.
