Written Answers. - Provision of Women's Prison.
I am aware that conditions are not satisfactory for women in prison.
On 30 January last, I announced a package of measures to tackle crime, which included the immediate recommencement of work in connection with the building of a women's prison at Cowley Place, in Dublin. This work is under way.
