Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Prison Service (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My question relates to the cost of providing Army security at Portlaoise prison.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Prison Service (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I met the Tánaiste in December 2020, at which time there were 29 prisoners in the E block in Portlaoise prison. There are now fewer than ten.

Also, will the consultative forum on international security policy require formal change of...

What progress...

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Tánaiste knows my concern about the treatment of republican prisoners in Maghaberry Prison and it is a long-term concern.

During that period he has been scanned 18 times by an X-ray body scanner and he has had no...
