There have been two allegations of sexual assault in prisons to date in 2004. These incidents related to alleged assaults in Cloverhill Prison and Cork Prison. Both incidents were reported to the Garda Síochána. As investigations are under way, I am not in a position to comment further on the two allegations at this stage.
