Public Accounts Committee

2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons
Chapter 7 – Catering and Ancillary Services in Prisons

11:30 am

Ms Caron McCaffrey:

The Deputy mentioned the old Cork prison, and we have built a new prison in Cork which is operating very well and has massively transformed the provision of services to prisoners and the conditions in which they live and in which staff work. We have decommissioned the old prison, although it remains our property. At this stage, we have no particular plan for its future use. It remains part of our portfolio, and consideration could obviously be given in time, subject to the availability of capital resources, for potential development on that site. We do not have any plans at the moment.
