-----that are not evident to us. Will the Minister consider publication of the McElfatrick report, which I believe will shed light on the current state of affairs, and that which has applied in regard to Oberstown over some considerable time past? Without that report being in the public domain and properly acted upon, we will see a continuation of the failings and shortcomings that have given rise to such public concern about Oberstown, which is the worst possible backdrop to the final transfer of young children out of the adult prison system to that new entity.
On the commissioning of the new development at Oberstown, we need to be starting afresh, with the certainty that we have a service that is fit for purpose and of a standard of which we could all be proud.
