It is not a dairy farm, so it would most likely be beef dry stock. In terms of what the land will be used for, it was mentioned that the Irish Prison Service wants to retain some of it for the justice system. Will Ms McCaffrey explain? Will it be for a smaller prison? I understand that the crash came. It is basically a retrofit of Mountjoy. Everybody will accept that the staff are working in appalling conditions in Mountjoy and the prisoners are living in appalling conditions. What is the Irish Prison Service looking at there? How much of the land is it looking at?
