Vote 21 – Prisons
Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Donnellan:
There are up to 40 places in the PACE system, which takes many so-called "lifers", that is, people who were serving life sentences. We also work with Dublin City Council and the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive, both of which have been very responsive to our needs in terms of providing accommodation for people. They see that there is a benefit to society if ex-prisoners can be accommodated safely on their return to the community.
