Does the increase in referrals in June and July coincide with the end of the school year or Youthreach programs? Does the Judiciary take cognisance in its sentencing that sending a person to Oberstown or a unit in a public hospital ward is unacceptable? Is it appropriate for members of the Minister's Department to liaise with the Judiciary on its sentencing practice and policy?
