Ms Caron McCaffrey:
The incidence has reduced because of a significant capital investment programme. The most recent figures indicate 36 prisoners, which is broken down to include 18 to 20 prisoners in Limerick Prison. I mentioned earlier that there is a very big construction programme under way there at the moment to replace the current accommodation.
