The Prison Officers Association must choose between delivering an agreement on a package of efficient work practices in all our prisons and places of detention, including Loughan House, or implementation of the measures agreed by Government, which would include the running of Loughan House by a body other than the Irish Prison Service. Prison staff have it in their power to save these institutions. However, they must make a choice and return to negotiations on the basis of the approach developed in consultation with their representatives over recent years. No one should underestimate the Government's determination that this matter must be addressed urgently because from next year the money simply will not be available. The end has come for the existing overtime culture.
