Minister for Justice and Equality

I would like to inform the Deputy that of the €62 million allocation, approximately €33.5 million is earmarked for construction related projects in 2014. The majority of these projects relate to the Irish Prisons Service and include among others, major projects such as Mountjoy refurbishment, Wheatfield Prison, Cork Prison and Limerick Prison.
