Youth Justice Strategy: Statements (21 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I agree with an awful lot of what my colleagues have said about the youth justice strategy. Some good points are being made and we are making some journey points at present.

We have pilot schemes and programmes at times and I note representatives of Archways, the Changing Lives Initiative...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (20 Jun 2023)
