Irish Prison Service.
12:00 pm
Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)
We need to tackle the drug problem in our prisons head on, for example by introducing incentives such as remission and reward for participation in various education, rehabilitation and training programmes. We should ensure that the probation services are properly co-ordinated so they can engage in post-prison monitoring. The integrated sentence management system should be introduced in every prison. I hope the resignation of Ms McMahon will spur the Minister into some form of action. If he cannot keep our prisons safe, how can he be expected to keep our streets safe?
