Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

HIQA Inspection of the Oberstown Children's Detention Campus: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Pat Bergin:

I will start with the last point the Senator raised regarding self-harm. We have young people who inflict harm on themselves for many reasons. Some when they come to the campus have a history of self-harming. As we would be aware of that, it allows us to put measures in place very quickly.
