Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Second Stage.

 

The Minister of State pointed out, and it is also made plain in the Bill, how extremely important it is for – I sometimes say patients at this point – prisoners to become involved in training outside prison. Some courses are only available outside prison. I praise FÁS for the incredible work it does in this area. Prisoners have to be released to take up these courses.
