3079. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the operational capacity, average daily population and occupancy rate of Oberstown Children Detention Centre in each of the past five years and to date in 2026, in tabular form. [62342/26]

Precise data on occupancy rate for all of the years requested was not readily available and verifiable in the time allowed. The Department will follow up with the Deputy to complete the data requested in the coming days. In the meantime, I can say that data from the Oberstown annual reports for 2024 and 2025 indicated an occupancy rate of 85% in each of those two years.
