There are five children detention schools under the aegis of my Department which provide residential care, education and rehabilitation for children, generally up to age 16 years, who have been convicted of an offence or remanded in custody by the courts. A total provision of €31.2 million has been provided in 2005 towards the day-to-day running of these schools.
