Ms Caron McCaffrey:
That specifically relates to Portlaoise and the category of prisoner accommodated there specifically in the E block, which accommodates subversive prisoners. There are historical arrangements in place. There are kitchens on the landings, for want of a better phrase, with additional foodstuff provided to that category of prisoners that they can cook and consume from those individual kitchens.
