More than two-thirds of Ireland's 3,700 prisoners have drug or alcohol addiction problems, TDs have been told.
Irish Prison Service director general Michael Donnellan revealed the extraordinary figure at the Dáil's Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
He said the Prison Service ran treatment and detox programmes and there were 500 prisoners who were on methadone.
