Boy to stay in custody while HSE find placement
A 14-year-old boy, who set fire to a room with children in it, is to stay in custody pending efforts by the Health Service Executive to find a suitable therapeutic care home placement for him.
At the Dublin Children’s Court, Judge Angela Ni Chonduin further remanded the teenager in custody to Oberstown Boys’ Centre, where he has been held since July, while efforts are being made by the HSE to find him a placement.
