Ms McEntee conceded there has been a decrease in detections of road traffic offences in recent years “but what we’re actually experiencing is a change in behaviour”. The new facility is equipped with in-cell telephones, televisions, showers and toilets as well as extensive educational and training facilities. A number of the cells are two-room “apartment-style” suites designed for long-term prisoners preparing to return to society.
The new prison, which started taking inmates in February, is currently at 92 per cent capacity while overall the prison system is at 103 per cent. Regarding the terror attacks in Belgium and France over the last week and the outbreak of violence in Israel and Palestine, the Minister said the terrorism threat level in Ireland remains unchanged.
