I would like to reiterate the question I asked earlier. Judge Anne Ryan acknowledged a long-term solution is in hand, but with regard to the short-term solution - in terms of repeat offenders being released - the funding element of this has been reduced in comparison to 2012. Has that matter been finalised and is there capacity in the system now to deal with repeat offenders? If they are brought before the courts is there capacity to deal with them if they receive detention sentences? Have we full capacity and have we the required staff to deal with this?
