asked the Minister for Justice when the plans for the corrective training unit at Mountjoy were drawn up; the number and type of prisoners who will be accommodated in the unit; and when the building will be ready for occupation.

The sketch plans for the corrective training unit, which will accommodate 96 prisoners, were approved on 23rd June, 1972. It is expected that the building will be ready for occupation by April, 1974. The prisoners who will be accommodated in the unit will be specially selected on the basis that the prospects of their rehabilitation are good.
