Aengus Ó Snodaigh

Question:

173 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of prison staff that will be employed at the new prison complex planned for north County Dublin; and the number and category of other support staff who will work at the complex. [7439/05]

Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

At this stage no final decision has been made as to the exact number or category of prisoners to be accommodated on the new site. Therefore, it is not possible to give precise staff numbers for the new prison complex planned for north County Dublin at this point in time.
