General Scheme of the Children (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion
2:00 am
Dr. Ian D. Marder:
Yes. The bail supervision scheme is about children not being remanded in custody before conviction or sentencing, whereas restorative justice is a process by which we decide what would happen next. Everyone who is at risk of being remanded in Oberstown should have access to the bail supervision scheme and then, in addition to that, everyone who accepts responsibility for offending and goes through the criminal justice process should have access to restorative justice.
