Jim O'Callaghan: When the Minister looks at our rising population, it is unsurprising that the prison population has increased quite significantly. I welcome the fact that the capital budget for the Prison Service recognises that we need 1,100 more prison spaces between now and 2030. Where are they going to be built? Where in Dublin will they be built? I know the Minister is talking about a location...

Pa Daly: With all the increased money allocated to prisons, there is a feeling that money going into capital projects in the Courts Service has been restricted. Works need to be carried out in the court house in Mallow. When is the work in Hammond Lane due to commence or be completed or both? All the money seems to be going to Hammond Lane. There is no wheelchair access in the court house in...

Pa Daly: The Tralee courthouse site has been purchased from the county council. Does the Minister have a view on the fact no progress will be made this year or next year or probably even in the year thereafter? The site was given to the Courts Service for a song, in effect, yet no progress has been made on it.

Pa Daly: There was supposed to be some progress on a Bill relating to the Coroner Service. County councillors throughout the country have expressed dissatisfaction that their councils' budgets are taken up by the Coroner Service and there was an indication that that would be changed. Is that going to happen any time soon?
