Prison Visiting Regulations
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-10
============================================================

Éamon Ó Cuív (FF), Galway West

This has been a very difficult year for many but it has been particularly challenging for prison management, prison staff and prisoners. I compliment the staff of the Irish Prison Service, IPS, on the way in which Covid was kept out of the prisons. I also recognise the co-operation of prisoners who have been deprived of visits, and many other things in the prisons, as a result. What arrangements have been made to allow for prison visits over the Christmas period to happen in as generous and humane a way as possible, while remaining consonant with public health advice?
