At a time when we are putting record amounts of money into communities to build sports facilities, etc. it would be crazy to even consider such a proposal. Rural communities, especially those along the Border, need to be built up. Transferring prison officers and their families from these communities would be another nail in the coffin for rural towns and villages. I have visited Loughan House on a number of occasions with my colleague Deputy Brendan Smith and local councillor Eddie Feeley. The upgrading of facilities in the past decade has greatly improved the prison. It is my hope and that of the people of west Cavan that Loughan House will remain a place of detention.
