May I move on to the submission of the Irish Penal Reform Trust, IPRT? Ms Malone spoke of the separation of prisoners and the IPRT is particularly concerned by the number of children who are in Wheatfield Prison. I must confess that I am not familiar with the different prisons but does the trust require the State to go on a prison-building campaign? Is there not different segregation within prisons anyway to take care of the different categories of prisoners?
