Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána
Mr. Drew Harris:
There are 103,000 referrals. The scheme is subject to constant monitoring. It is a statutory responsibility that we have and it is subject then to a yearly report. The Policing Authority raised issues about that report and we will respond accordingly. Part of that will be the 103,000 referrals, the feedback from them and their success. There is a forum and we should use that to promote confidence in the scheme. The authority is very clear on that as well.
