Vol. 221 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Releases from Industrial Schools.

40.

Mr. O'Leary

asked the Minister for Education whether any children were released on parole from industrial schools over the past year; if he will give the number and schools; and the number of persons released on parole over the past five years.

There is provision in law for the release of children committed to industrial schools on supervision certificate i.e. permission for the child to live with any trustworthy and respectable person willing to take charge of him with liability to the child's recall to the school at any time. The number of children so released from industrial schools in the calendar year 1965 was 82 and the number in the five years ended 31st December, 1965, 328.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to give the numbers released on supervision certificates and the numbers granted leave of absence from each industrial school in the form of a tabular statement which will be circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the Statement:

STATEMENT showing the numbers of youthful offenders and children released on supervision certificates and the numbers granted leave of absence from each industrial school in the years specified.
