Children Bill 1999

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Children Bill 1999 would replace outdated child law with a modern system focused on protecting children, supporting families and dealing with youth offending. It would raise the age of criminal responsibility to 12, create diversion and restorative-justice programmes, strengthen safeguards for children in Garda custody, introduce special care and detention arrangements, and increase penalties for cruelty and exploitation.

Formal long title
