I read in the IT that Coovagh House in Limerick has 25 staff taking care of 2 disruptive children.
[broken link removed]
The centre was built to manage 5 children, but has never reached this figure.
Security costs are 680 per day.
Staff costs came to 1.2m for 9 months of 2009, that's 1.6m p.a.
Total running costs are 2m pa.
I think this is a huge waste of money.
What do the 25 staff do all day?
Some parents manage 4-6-8 children, why do the HSE need 25 staff for just 2?
Can we not imagine a better, cheaper way to care for or manage these disruptive children??
