Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 December 2014
112. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide details on the firm awarded the winning tender for the redevelopment of Limerick prison; if she will provide details on the value of the contract in question and the criteria for its award; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47457/14]
View answerThe redevelopment of Limerick Prison will see the replacement of the 19th century A and B wings, and the provision of a new female prison block. I am informed by the Irish Prison Service that the tendering process is currently underway and that no contract has yet been awarded. The Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the likely value of the contract for commercial reasons.
