Mr. John Costello:

I met prisoners in Arbour Hill. Lifers and sex offenders were strongly of the view that there should be enhanced remission. The prisoners undertaking the Building Better Lives programme were frustrated that they received the same remission as prisoners that did not get off their backsides to do anything. They were strongly of the view that there should be enhanced remission. That could represent a compromise. There could be enhanced remission above the 25% automatic remission and I would be in favour of it.
