Senator Terry referred to the case involving an 11 year old boy in which the presiding judge said there was no place to put him. He was described, perhaps by the social worker in charge of the case, as being out of control. The case is a shocking indictment of the system. The boy concerned is still a child. The Senator requested the attendance of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to debate the issue. If a Minister attends the House to debate a Bill, it is very difficult to secure his or her further attendance to debate other issues as he or she may have to progress the Bill in this or the other House.
