asked the Minister for Justice if he will outline his plans for the vacant site in Mulgrave Street, Limerick, which was formerly the Clover Meats factory.

When the lands adjoining Limerick Prison came on the market, they were acquired to make it possible, in the long-term, to modernise Limerick Prison. The industrial buildings which formerly occupied the site have been cleared and the lands have been fenced. Specific long-term intentions for the development of the site have not been decided. In the short-term, however, the site can be used to provide better work-training facilities for selected prisoners and, in this connection, consideration is being given to introducing training courses in building construction.

The remaining questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
