I have noted the comments contained in the report of the Inspector of Prisons regarding the training unit at Mountjoy. The future delivery of services provided at the training unit is the subject of active consideration by the Irish Prison Service. A final decision on the matter will have regard to all the relevant factors involved, including location.
