No. 126 on the legislative programme is the St. Patrick's Institution (closing) Bill, which will provide for closing St. Patrick's Institution and will remove children who come into conflict with the law from our prison system. What is the current status of that Bill?

I cannot give the Deputy a date for the Bill, but work is being finalised on the completion of the Oberstown facility. The Bill will probably be ready in the next number of months but I cannot give an accurate date.
