The Minister seems to be grappling with the issue of prison visiting committees, which is timely. It would be a measure of respect for the motion, which reflects much of the Government viewpoint, if Members opposite supported it. There is concern, in the House and among all political parties, that appointments to the committees seem to be made to maximise the distance members must travel to the prison they serve. With regard to Arbour Hill Prison, three of the 11 members of the committee live in County Dublin while eight live over 200 kilometres away. With regard to Cork Prison, three of the 11 members live in County Cork while six must travel more than 200 kilometres. With regard to the Curragh, two of the 11 members live in County Kildare while six must travel more than 200 kilometres, which is common because the famous Minister for zero tolerance, Deputy O'Donoghue, appointed probably the highest number of criminologists within the prison visiting service. He dispensed his largesse throughout County Kerry. South Kerry is 200 kilometres from many of the prisons involved.
