I am informed by the Irish Prison Service that a tender competition for a substantial development at Limerick prison is at an advanced stage. The proposed works comprise the construction of a new wing for male prisoners, a new kitchen, laundry and training facility there and a stand-alone unit to house female prisoners.
As tenders for the development are currently under evaluation, I trust that the Deputy will understand that it would be inappropriate of me to disclose any information in relation to the estimated cost of the project at this stage.
I will provide details of the project cost once the procurement process has been completed.
