Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

Implementation of National Youth Strategy: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Amy Carey:

Ms Murphy made the point that we are covering gaps. At the end of the day, we have a young person in front of us with a need. While other services might see that as a safe space, that young person is someone we know. It is a young person who trusts us, a family that knows us, and we are not going to turn our backs on them. In that way, we get stuck, and we get landed with a lot of things we should not get landed with.
