Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána
Mr. Drew Harris:
I will seek clarification on this. If the Deputy is correct and we are not considering juveniles in terms of their subsequent risk of sex offending, that would be a serious problem. However, I want to get myself absolutely clear on what the process is. I have looked at the management of sex offender processes that we have in place but, offhand, I cannot recall whether I asked if juveniles were included in that process. However, the Deputy is correct that this is a significant point to raise.
