Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I understand that it is not possible to say when the prison service Bill will be brought to the House. It should be borne in mind that not every piece of land that comes up for sale is suitable for a prison. It is obvious that a number of criteria are involved. I am sure if it had been known that the land was for a prison, the price might have been somewhat different.
