Ms Caron McCaffrey:

A point to make is that there has been massive investment in the prison estate to bring it up to standard. Some €150 million has been invested in the last ten years to put in-cell sanitation into Mountjoy, which was the biggest facility. We now have a construction project in Limerick which will eliminate the small number who continue to not have access to an in-cell toilet. A significant amount of progress has been made.
