Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

I welcome the section. We are dealing with people involved in criminal activity. There is anecdotal evidence that many of the operations of criminals are directed from prison via mobile phones. What is the position of the Minister in terms of scrambling mobile phones and the phone network within prisons given that it is generally acknowledged that a good deal of the operations of such activity are now directed from prison? What plans does the Minister have to complement the legislation in terms of mobile phones in prisons?
