During the previous session, we spoke to the witnesses about the same topic. I spoke about students in their early 20s, who were in the middle of their third level course but end up in prison for different reasons - they have to do the time if they did the crime. They spoke with the Maynooth University partnership and are able to get out on day visits to attend university. Would the IPEA like to see that in place? Are there other conversations ongoing with other universities, such as in Cork, Dublin or Limerick, about such an arrangement?
