Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Suicide Prevention in Prisons: Irish Institute of Naturopathic Medicine

1:40 pm

Ms Maureen Mulligan:

No, we are asking the committee to recommend that it be started in Irish prisons. The previous research undertaken was in 1998. We have had many parliamentary questions tabled to try to have this programme facilitated. I set it up from Dublin and we have interest throughout the world in it and I would like to get it started in Irish prisons.
