CAVAN TRAINING CENTRE

In reply to Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (16 May 2013).

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

The total cost of the upgrade works required as a result of the escape of eight residents at the Cavan Training Centre on 29 February 2012 was $282,714. The costs were incurred as a result of infrastructure repairs and security upgrades.
