Question:142 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice the number of teaching hours lost in Mountjoy Prison due to the cutbacks in the vocational training opportunities scheme. [14812/95]
Written Answers. - Cutbacks in Mountjoy Prison.
There is no loss of teaching hours provided for Mountjoy or, indeed, for the prisons generally this year. Neither do changes in the vocational training opportunity scheme have any impact on education in prisons, as this scheme is directed to the education and training of unemployed people in the community.
