Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
A specific block in Cloverhill Prison was going to used specifically for this purpose, with a different regime etc. When Covid hit, the Prison Service had to use that for isolation purposes. It was to come into being this year. Also, a new Garda station has been constructed at Dublin Airport and that is to be used for this purpose on a short-term basis.
