    TWO TEENAGE BOYS “thrashed” a metalwork room at Oberstown Children detention centre with hammers for three hours before the Garda Public Order Unit was called in to remove them, a court has heard.


    I'm all for reform, especially with juveniles, but I cannot comprehend giving convicts access to metal work tools under the supervision of only a teacher.

    Hardly a new thing. Trying to teach practical skills has always been part of youth reform, be it woodwork, metalwork or something else.

    They were going to be put on a short story class, but were afraid of a longer sentence.

    The pair, then aged 15 and 16 years old, threatened their teacher with hammers before proceeding to smash “anything they could get their hands”, causing €14,290 of damage.

    Two lads who need the shíte flogged out of them.

    I prefer to view this as a triumphant story of 2 young men who turned their lives around in jail where they discovered their hidden talents at Hammering the sh!te out of everything

    They are now 16 & 17 years old and have over 60 convictions between them.

    At least they're dedicated to their trade.
