Amharc ar fhreagraThe accounts for January to May 2016 were included in the Annual Report and Accounts for 2012-2016, following the amalgamation of the three children detention schools to form the Oberstown Children Detention Campus. They were laid before the Oireachtas on July 24, 2017,
The accounts, for the period from June 2016 to December 2016, that were audited by the C&AG were sent into my Department in April 2018. However due to an administrative oversight, they were not been laid before the Houses. I will arrange for them to be laid before the Houses as a matter of urgency.
The annual accounts for 2017 are currently in the process of finalisation and will be laid before the Oireachtas as soon as they are available.
