The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in the format requested. However, I can confirm that in 2014, a total of 33 boys were remanded in custody to Trinity House School. In 2013, the comparable figure was 30 boys. The Deputy may wish to note that many boys who are remanded in custody are remanded on more than one occasion.
I have requested my Department to assemble such further information as may be available on the number of minors remanded in custody in both Trinity House School and the Oberstown campus as a whole over the period in question. This will be forwarded directly to the Deputy.
