Mr. Michael Donnellan:
If we take Mountjoy as an example, the difference between Mountjoy today and in 2011 is that every prisoner in Mountjoy has a single cell. In 2011 there was doubling up and tripling up; similarly in Cork there is doubling up and tripling up. When the new prison comes on stream in January 2016 that problem will be remedied as well.
