In March 2008, the Government approved the development of new national children detention facilities on the Oberstown campus near Lusk, Co. Dublin.

The project is currently at the design stage and it is anticipated that the tendering process for construction will take place in 2010. Construction is expected to be undertaken in phases with the first phase scheduled to be completed by end 2012.

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.
