General Scheme of the Children (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Saoirse Brady:

I do not know that it necessarily would. At present, the funding is the issue and the fact that it is only available in three areas. If you think about a place in Oberstown costing the guts of €230,000 and a bail supervision intervention costing €20,000, the latter is much more cost effective as well as more effective in the long run.
