Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) Joe Costello: The witness is not answering my question. We have gone through all of that.

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) Joe Costello: Foremost in of all this is the ability of the prisoners' families to travel to Thornton Hall for visits. There is no public transport and it would be very awkward for them. In choosing a site in the middle of nowhere with no public transport one wonders how families are going to get there. Measures could be put together, but the travel issue does not seem to have been considered. Egans...

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) Joe Costello: My final question relates to European social funding for women's equality measures. It is stated a saving of €127,000 was achieved but that this came about because of three existing projects not availing of an extension. As it was for employment purposes, what was lost in these three projects not continuing? How much money was drawn down? Are there other areas where the Department...
