As the incoming Coordinator of the National Preventative Mechanism (‘NPM’) we briefed the delegation at the start of their visit, highlighting our areas of concern. We are now the last country in Europe to ratify OPCAT- unacceptable, given our poor history of places of detention.

[Saoirse Brady @saoirse_b]

Ratifying #OPCAT is more important than ever with severe prison overcrowding - it would help to ensure that preventative measures are put in place before we reach crisis point.

We are now the outlier. The Govt needs to pass the Inspection of Places of Detention Bill urgently

[Niall Walsh @niallwalsh77]

Any reduction in legal costs would make the system better for the litigant but “might not be regarded as being in the interests of the legal profession”

➡️Maria Ward, Eoin Flood and Rose Kerrigan from #CityofDublinETB Education Services to Prisons are attending the Technology in Corrections Conference, Istanbul. They will talk to attendees tomorrow about 'Digitization Within Irish Prison Education.’ Watch for more updates!

[Saoirse Brady @saoirse_b]

This comprehensive @OIP_Ireland report is a sobering read. It paints a stark picture of the high level of mental health needs of people in overcrowded prisons without adequate access to the medical and therapeutic supports they require. It makes clear recommendations for action

[Niall Walsh @niallwalsh77]

Four years since the Kelly review made recommendations for tackling legal costs, the “millionaire rates” continue to be the “going rates”
