Ms Helen O'Donoghue:

There is a very strong cohort involved in art education in the prison service, with real experience that probably dates back to the 1970s. When we recently hosted the Brian Maguire Aleppo paintings, the prison service arts education team organised a continuous professional development day at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. One of its teachers, Mr. Tom Short, an artist from Limerick, has been appointed as its co-ordinator of continuous professional development.
