YOUTH justice initiatives are making a real difference across Limerick.

Thatโ€™s according to Limerick TD and Minister of State at the Justice Department, Niall Collins, who said he hasย helped pushed the governmentโ€™s youth justice strategy, targeting youth people at risk of coming into contact with the criminal justice system.

He said the strategy’s programmes โ€œhave proven to be effective in providing a pathway away from criminality for young people at risk of entering a life of crimeโ€.

“I’ve visited LIFE YDP in Rathkeale, the Moyross YDP, and Limerick Youth Services and it has been a privilege to witness first-hand the incredible work being done by youth workers to help our most at-risk young people avoid a life of criminality.โ€
