Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I seek clarification because the proposal being put to the House today is new and is a little complicated. I seek the Taoiseach's assurance that the motion on the building of the prison in Thornton Hall will come back to the House to be voted on in plenary session. I ask this mindful of the commitment in the Green Party manifesto which states that the Green Party will abolish plans to relocate Mountjoy to Thornton Hall and instead review options to refurbish and extend the present buildings. The Minister of State, Deputy Sargent will recall this issue.
