Teen admits being ringleader of Oberstown breakouts

The boy, who cannot be named because he is a juvenile, is one of four youths who absconded from the Oberstown juvenile detention facility in Lusk in north Co Dublin in July. He and another teenager also broke out from the 48-bed facility in May.
The escapes led to massive search operations, staff being suspended, and a security review at the facility — the State’s main detention centre for offenders aged under 17.
