I am informed that the property in question is no longer used by or under the care and management of the Irish Prison Service.

The keys to the premises were formally returned to the Department of Defence on 18 March last. Costs of €21,612 have been incurred in 2008 in respect of maintenance, security and, ultimately, in respect of the decommissioning of the property as a place of detention.
