Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am sure Members of the House and, in particular, spokespersons, will be aware that a cross-departmental working party is engaged on a youth justice review and is due to report shortly. The reports that appeared in the media today are in anticipation of some recommendations that may be forthcoming from the working party. As soon as they come to Government they will be dealt with.
