The redevelopment of Limerick Prison will see the replacement of the 19th century A and B wings, and the provision of a new female prison block. I am informed by the Irish Prison Service that the tendering process is currently underway and that no contract has yet been awarded. The Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the likely value of the contract for commercial reasons.
