Voices In The House

The number of prisoners in Mountjoy last night was more than double the recommended capacity. . .

- Mr Brendan Howlin (Labour)

They (two new prisons) are empty. We built them.

- Ms Nora Owen (FG)

The deputy was in office for 2 1/2 years, but she did not do much about this situation. The new remand prison at Clover Hill and the new women's prison at Mountjoy are expected to be operational shortly.
