The Deputy will be aware that the site at Thornton Hall was purchased by the State in 2005 for a new prison development that did not proceed at the time. The site is a fully serviced green field site which remains available for development if required in the future.
The Irish Prison Service retains a strong strategic interest in this site for the possible future expansion of the prison estate.
