Ceist:41 Mr. Byrne asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the call made by a Dublin district justice for the establishment of a secure centre for female juvenile offenders when he refused to dismiss charges of assault against a 15-year-old girl, despite a direction from the Director of Public Prosecutions; the progress which has been made towards providing such a centre; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
