Mr. Fergal Black:
We have engaged with the SOLAS project. We have brought them in for the last number of years, engaging with Eddie and his team, and worked with those groups. Wheatfield is our designated centre to receive transfers from Oberstown. We see it as very important that the transition is handled well and we have staff that are skilled up to work with that particular group of young offenders because when they come over from Oberstown they are very young.
