I too wish to raise the issue of the report by Mr. Justice Kinlen which casts a grim shadow over the condition of our prisons. It calls for the demolition of Mountjoy and Portlaoise Prisons, given that it describes the conditions for prisoners there as unacceptable. We need an urgent debate on this matter and it is a pity we cannot have it before the summer recess. However, we should have one early in the next session.
