                  The court was informed that in England and Wales L.W. would not find himself in his current situation in that �community treatment orders� are provided for. This is what I was referring to at para. 1 above. Were such a provision to be available in this jurisdiction, the treatment required by L.W. would be available on a formal basis without any deprivation of his liberty.
                  The facts of L.W.�s situation may be summarised as follows:
(i)        L.W.�s parents had significant addiction and mental issues of their own and he was in a foster family at the age of three. His mental health problems started early in his life.
(ii)      L.W. attended national school but he did not do well there and was frequently suspended. He stopped going to school at the age of twelve, ran away from his foster family and was effectively homeless from the age of thirteen.
(iii)    L.W. was convicted for a number of offences as a juvenile including assault, criminal damage and robbery. As a result he was detained in Oberstown Detention Centre when he was fourteen, followed by a two year period in Trinity House Detention Centre and in St. Patrick�s Institution.
