We should have a debate on the issue.

We were greeted this morning with the horrifying news that three more inmates of Loughan House had escaped yesterday, a development that is highly embarrassing for the Irish Prison Service. We must have an immediate explanation of these apparent failures of security, with the latest incident coming barely one month after another escapee managed to evade capture for several days. The security arrangements at Loughan House and throughout the Irish Prison Service must be urgently reviewed.
