I am informed by the Director General of the Irish Prison Service that on 30 June 2013, 1,512 persons or 36% of the prison population were serving sentences of 5 years or more. A full breakdown of the number of persons imprisoned for 5 years to less than 7 years and for 7 years or more is set out in the table. In cases where a person is serving multiple sentences, they are categorised on the basis of their most serious offence.
