Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Penal Reform: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Fergal Black:

My colleague might be best placed to respond, but last year, of the clients in prison who engaged with the Merchant’s Quay Project, 98 were released from prison into a treatment centre. We actively support that continuum to ensure people will be given the opportunity. Perhaps Mr. Smyth might want to say something on that point.
