Question 224: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the progress made to date in 2006 in preparing planning applications for the site at Mountjoy Prison; if he proposes to transfer some of the site to the Mater Hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6156/06]

The Office of Public Works is currently assembling the expertise required to produce proposals for the future use of the Mountjoy site. Following a consultation process with the planning authority and all interested parties, it is intended that the OPW will be in a position to make a planning application for the site in the latter half of this year. I do not propose to transfer any part of the Mountjoy Prison site to the Mater Hospital.
