It is intended that all aspects of the new wing including construction, fitting-out and security related works will be completed by mid to end of March 2009. It is then intended to bring the Unit into operation on a phased basis. The number of staff to be employed in the new wing attached to Castlerea Prison is currently being given careful consideration and it would not, therefore, be appropriate to comment further at this time.
