33 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for Justice the plans, if any, she has to build new prisons; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5286/95]
46 Mr. E. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice the plans, if any, she has to provide more places of detention for young offenders; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5388/95]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 33 and 46 together.
I am proceeding with plans to provide two new prisons — one located on the site of St. Patrick's Hospital, Castlerea, County Roscommon, to accommodate 150 adult male offenders and the other on the Cowley Place site, adjoining Mountjoy Prison, to accommodate 60 female offenders.
