The Supreme Court of Ireland is reviewing an appeal by a mother whose 15-year-old son, involved in drug sales and suicidal behavior, was not detained in a secure care unit as ordered. The Child and Family Agency (CFA) cited staffing shortages for its failure to comply. The mother seeks a contempt declaration against the CFA, while the court considers the implications of resource constraints on legal compliance and the rule of law.
