Mr. Brian Purcell:
Obviously, there are no children in Cloverhill Prison, as it is a male prison. If there were females detained overnight, they would be held in the Dóchas Centre. Sometimes, depending on the age of the infant, he or she might be kept there or else the mother and child would be detained somewhere other than the prison, depending on circumstances.
