Teen accused of assaulting care centre staff gets bail

A 16-year-old Dublin boy accused of attacking staff at the State’s top secure therapeutic care centre for troubled youths has been granted bail after he was missing for weeks.

The boy is accused of assault causing harm to care staff, two men and two women, at Ballydowd Young People’s Centre in Lucan in Dublin on June 15.

The centre holds troubled children who have been detained by the High Court for their own care and welfare.
