The Taoiseach regularly visits Coolmine therapeutic centre in our constituency in Dublin West. He is very much in favour of therapeutic communities and I think the Minister should talk to him. I am not talking about the general prison model, but therapeutic communities work well in the UK and in other countries. I tabled parliamentary questions on this subject so I am surprised the Minister is not aware of it. I am not talking about specific programmes but about the general proposition. I will leave it there.
