I see a small increase of 7.45% in the allocation for buildings and equipment. One of the matters I have become quite aware of in the past year or two is that a number of prisoners in various facilities throughout the country are doubling up, which is not ideal. Is there a plan in that regard, notwithstanding the new wings that have been added to at least two prisons, Limerick and Cork, in recent years? Will the Minister outline any further investment in infrastructure to try to accommodate prisoners as humanely and appropriately as possible?
