Vol. 113 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Prisoners' Cost of Maintenance.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will state the cost per prisoner per day of providing food during each of the years, 1945, 1946 and 1947, for prisoners detained in each of our prisons.

The information asked for has been prepared in the form of a tabular statement, which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have published in the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

Cost per prisoner per day of providing food during each of the years, 1945, 1946, 1947, for prisoners detained in prisons.
