To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if his attention has been drawn to the existence of a one acre derelict site to the west of the Arbour Hill Prison in Dublin 7 bounded by Cavalry Row to the west and Palatine Square to the north; his plans to make it available for housing purposes to the local authority or the private sector; if the Irish Prison Service has plans to develop the site; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am informed by the Irish Prison Service that the location in question is part of the Arbour Hill Prison complex. It was acquired from the Defence forces a number of years ago. The Irish Prison Service retain the site in the prison estate portfolio for the development of prison related facilities on the site, subject to the appropriate planning requirements, in the future.
