St. Patrick's Institution currently comes under the remit of the prison inspectorate. As such it does not fall to the Authority to inspect. I will consult with my colleague, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform in relation to an appropriate inspection regime for the under 18 age group which are currently accommodated in St. Patrick's Institution, pending the provision of new children detention school facilities .
