As the Deputy will be aware, engineering consultants were engaged by the Irish Prison Service in late 2023 to carry out a detailed assessment of the old Cork Prison facility and to provide a feasibility report on the site with various options for its use.
The draft report was received by the Irish Prison Service in October last year and it is currently being considered by them. The site remains of strategic interest to the Irish Prison Service as a location for possible future development.
