I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department's team in the Irish Youth Justice Service is led by a Principal Officer and has responsibility for Youth Crime Policy and Programmes. Their role is to develop and support implementation of youth justice policy including funding and oversight of the operation and development of the nationwide network of Garda Youth Diversion Projects, in consultation with the Garda authorities, as well as supporting a number of other community programmes and projects.

The table below shows the staff numbers and grades  in the Irish Youth Justice Service from 2014-2018.
