Ireland's detention center chief warns expansion would be unsafe due to staff shortages and rising youth mental health needs.
The head of Ireland’s Oberstown Children Detention Campus, Koulla Yiasouma, has urged Minister Norma Foley not to expand the facility’s capacity, warning that staffing shortages and rising behavioral challenges make current operations unsustainable.
In a May letter, Yiasouma cited existing staff strain, reliance on overtime, and increasing numbers of youth with trauma and mental health needs as major concerns.
While the minister acknowledged the challenges, she stated a modest capacity increase is necessary to meet court demands and pledged additional support to maintain care standards.
