I have requested this information from the Garda authorities will contact the Deputy as soon as this information is received.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question (No. 100 of 21 February 2019) where the Deputy sought the number of boys that have been charged with criminal damage at Oberstown Children Detention Campus since May 2016.
As the Deputy will recall, I undertook to contact her again once the information from An Garda Síochána was to hand.
The report is now to hand and I am advised by the Garda authorities that, since May 2016, 31 boys have been charged for criminal damage at Oberstown Children Detention Campus in 14 separate incidents.
I am further advised that it is not possible to provide a breakdown by date due to data protection requirements around low count data.
I hope this information is of assistance.
