Construction of the new National Children Detention Facilities is scheduled to take place on a phased basis so as to ensure the continued operation of the existing facilities. It is anticipated that phase 1 should be completed by end 2012 and phase 2 by end 2014. The Deputy will be aware, however, that tendering for the construction of the new facilities will be subject to Government approval and to the necessary funding being made available.
