Women prisoners, including convicted those convicted of murder, are being housed in comfortable new bedroom units following a multi-million-euro rebuild of Limerick Women’s Prison.

The new women’s prison, situated on Mulgrave Street, which was officially opened on Wednesday by Justice Minister Helen McEntee, has a mother and baby unit, allowing pregnant prisoners and new mothers to spend up to 12 months bonding together inside the prison.
