Jimmy Devins (Sligo-North Leitrim, Fianna Fail)

I accept that the Central Mental Hospital's new facility will be adjacent to the prison being built to replace Mountjoy. However, it is important to stress that the project relating to the former is stand alone in nature. The new facility will, therefore, have a separate entrance to the prison. There will also be separate road access. From an organisational point of view, it will be operated by the HSE and not the Irish Prison Service. It is incorrect to state otherwise.
