Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 8, to delete lines 20 to 22 and substitute the following:

""prison" means a place of custody administered by or on behalf of the Minister and includes—

(a) Saint Patrick's Institution,

(b) a place provided under section 2 of the Prisons Act 1970,

(c) a place specified under section 3 of the Prisons Act 1972, and

(d) a remand centre designated under section 88 of the Children Act 2001;".

The amendment inserts the most up-to-date definition of prison as contained in the Prisons Bill 2005, which was published on 2 May 2005 and is awaiting Committee Stage.
