Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Penal Reform: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Donnellan:
Mountjoy has been transformed. The plan for Mountjoy within the next three months is that the C and D divisions will accommodate ordinary prisoners, while the A and B divisions will accommodate protection prisoners. Mountjoy west, which is the old St. Patrick's Institution, will accommodate super-enhanced people, that is, the old training unit people. There is in-cell sanitation there. Then we will work on the training unit. There is a natural flow within the Mountjoy campus for everybody from the inner city area of Dublin.
