Gardaí investigate incidents at Oberstown

A Garda investigation is under way into a series of incidents at Oberstown Child Detention School, which saw a staff member injured and part of the complex damaged by fire.

The incidents took place while staff at the centre were engaged in industrial action over concerns for their own safety.

Yesterday, Children’s Minister Katherine Zappone said she was awaiting a management report to see if the industrial action had an impact on emergency cover.
