As a representative for the Finglas area, while I am a great fan of the work done by Fingal County Council, I often think that its attention is not drawn to the housing needs in its border area, so I might contradict it on that point.

I want to concentrate on some of the positive work that is going on in within the Prison Service. Last year, with Bohemian Foundation I had the great pleasure of visiting Mountjoy Prison, to talk about some of the educational opportunities that people are taking up. Will the witnesses outline what has been spent on education to support prisoners who perhaps are there for long-term stays?
