Justice Minister Helen McEntee highlighted serious concerns regarding prison overcrowding, warning that the current system lacks the capacity to handle an influx of prisoners due to recent public disorder. With record levels of inmates, the situation poses significant risks to safety and security within jails.
As jails face increasing pressures, McEntee indicated that the appointment of additional judges and more frequent court sessions may inadvertently exacerbate the overcrowding crisis rather than alleviate it, leading to a potentially dire outcome for the correctional system.
