Mr. John Clinton:

No. The prisoners will be dispersed. We are not fully sure how it is planned to disperse them. We were told it was hoped to put most of them into a super-enhanced regime at St. Patrick's Institution. That is not currently the situation, however. A means of rehousing the prisoners will be found. The staff will not be moved from Mountjoy Prison if they do not want to be moved. Some staff will look to go elsewhere if there are gaps in the system. Some staff movements will release staff to transfer elsewhere.
