A person who without lawful authority enters or attempts to enter any children\u2019s detention school, or communicates or attempts to communicate with a child detained there, is guilty of an offence.\u00a0 It is subject on summary conviction, to a fine up to \u20ac317 or up to two months imprisonment or both.<\/p>\n
A person who without lawful authority brings or attempts to bring into a children\u2019s detention school, or delivers or attempts to deliver to a child in the school, any alcohol or prescribed thing, is guilty of an offence.\u00a0 The same sanction as above applies on summary conviction.<\/p>\n
Where an offence is committed by a person who is under 18, it is not triable in the central criminal court; three years have passed since the finding of guilt and the person has not been dealt with for an offence within that period, their criminal record is to be expunged.<\/p>\n
The person is treated for all purposes as if he or she had not been charged, prosecuted, or convicted. No evidence is admissible in proceedings before a judicial authority to prove that the offence was incurred. The person may not be asked or required to answer a question relating to his conduct, which cannot be answered without acknowledging the offence. An obligation to disclose matters under contract should not include an obligation to disclose such an offence.<\/p>\n
Failure to disclose the offence is not a proper ground for dismissing the person, excluding him from a profession or prejudicing him in his duty in the course of his occupation or profession.<\/p>\n
