Vulnerable youth moved from ‘unacceptable’ B&B situation, court told

The president of the High Court has welcomed news that an “unacceptable” arrangement, under which a vulnerable intellectually disabled youth was living in a B&B and making a five hour round-trip to school daily, has been addressed.

He was glad, once that situation was brought to the attention of the relevant authorities, it had come to an end and the youth would now be in appropriate accommodation with appropriate supervision. He thanked Maria Dillon, solicitor for the HSE, the HSE itsef and all involved.The court heard the youth was moved in recent days from the B&B to an interim supervised facility from where he will be moved next week to a residential care arrangement.

He was made a ward of court early this month. Concerns were expressed about the suitability and safety of the B&B arrangement for reasons including, while the owner of the B&B has been Garda vetted, the B&B has transient users who are not vetted.
