Mr. Eddie D'Arcy runs a SOLAS Compass project that provides training in bicycle repairs to young offenders in Wheatfield Prison. I am concerned about the 18 to 24-year age group due to their potential to reoffend. Conducting a SOLAS project in the community is one thing but continuing it in Wheatfield is important. Has any progress been made?
