Ms Saoirse Brady:

If we look at Limerick Prison, it is trauma-informed, new, shiny and state of the art. It was built to double up, and what happened? It doubled up within a month or two of officially opening. The more prison spaces we create, the more we will fill. We really need to think about this. At the audiovisual room briefing the Deputy attended, we talked about small-scale detention. This is about looking at other options to big, Victorian-style prisons. We really need to look at that more and reimagine the criminal justice system. That is something the IPRT would really like to see.
