I am advised by the Irish Prison Service that the information requested by the Deputy in relation to the number of prisoners in custody in each of the prisons is published on a daily basis and this information is available on the Irish Prison Service website www.irishprisons.ie.

This breakdown includes the number of prisoners in custody and the bed capacity in each prison. The information can be found in the Information Centre – under Statistics & Information – Daily Prisoner Population.

See prisoner population figures as of Tuesday, 9 February 2021, displayed in Table 1 below.
