Legislation means orders for juveniles become unenforceable once they turn 18, leaving court’s hand ‘effectively tied’, judge says

The court heard that gardaí were called to Temple Bar on August 11th, 2023 after receiving a report that a group of tourists had been attacked.A judge has said that legislation that means supervision orders for juveniles are unenforceable once they turn 18 leaves the court’s hands “effectively tied” when imposing sentences.

Fintan O'Toole: Lidl wants MetroLink redesigned so it can build apartments. And can you pay the bill please?She said it seems there is “no mechanism” whereby the court can make a supervision order once an offender reaches the age of maturity. A local garda told Brian Storan, prosecuting, that gardaí were called to Temple Bar on August 11th, 2023 after receiving a report that a group of tourists had been attacked.

The boy was not involved in the injuries sustained by a fourth English tourist during the incident, the court heard. She said there was “little supervision” of the boy when he was staying in a hostel. He started smoking cannabis when he was 13, but is now clean.
