Pa Daly: The Minister mentioned money being put aside for public order vans and high-powered vehicles. Gardaí in west Dublin in particular tell me that not enough gardaí have done the training courses to drive the public order vans and there are backlogs for the driving courses. Has the Minister heard that?

Pa Daly: I believe there is a problem in the Prison Service at the moment. It is bursting at the seams and I think the Minister would accept that. Wherever there is a spare broom closet or office in a prison they seem to be looking at turning it into cells. There are too many of these that are three to a cell. A life was lost recently. Has any money been set aside for revamping or refurbishing...
