24th November 2004
202. Mr. English asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the plans in place for the relocation of Mountjoy Prison; if it is intended to relocate it to County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30714/04]Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell): The group established to examine potential sites for a prison complex to replace that at Mountjoy has identified three or four particular sites as being potentially the most suitable and these are being explored further. I would expect that the exercise will be completed before the end of this year.
