Sean Aylward, Doubts about smoking ban
The Director of the Prison Service has said that while he wants the dangers of passive smoking eliminated from the prison service, he is in favour of a gradual elimination of smoking.
Speaking on RTE radio, Sean Aylward said that it was too much to expect prisoners to serve their time without smoking.
Mr Aylward said that an overnight ban on smoking in all enclosed parts of the prison would be very hard to enforce.
