I understand that Ireland is in trouble with the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture due to the fact that we have so many mentally ill people in padded cells in prisons. I thought there had been agreement recently at Cabinet level that an intensive forensic care unit was to be set up in the Central Mental Hospital where, I was told, 30 beds were needed. There will of course be a price tag on that because, even with the great increase in the number of forensic psychiatrists, there is a still a shortage in this area and in that of psychiatric nurses. Some 26 nurses are needed and this has led to the closure of many beds so that the hospital is only able to take 75 patients at the moment. I hope it is not heard in Strasbourg that the prisons are probably keeping more people in padded cells now. We must deal with this matter at once.
