Youth group asks human rights commission to monitor Asbo application
The call comes after it emerged in the Irish Examiner yesterday that one of three applications for an Asbo related to a child. The other two applications relate to adults, one of which has been turned down, while the other is before the courts.
“It seems inevitable that we will soon have our first Asbo awarded to a young person in this state. This process needs to be overseen by an independent body such as the Irish Human Rights Commission,” said Michael McLoughlin of Youth Work Ireland.
