Kfm has contacted the Department of Justice for comment.
The Irish Prison Service (IPS) is in talks with the Defence Forces to reopen a vacant military prison in The Curragh to alleviate overcrowding in Irish jails.
According to thejournal.ie, due to severe overcrowding, IPS is seeking solutions.
The Curragh Prison, previously the Military Detention Unit from 1869, was taken over by the IPS in the late 1990s.
A spokesperson for the Department of Justice said: "The Department has had initial engagements with the Department of Defence, which owns the prison in the Curragh, regarding a possible recommissioning of the prison as a place of detention. The outcome of a technical assessment of the prison is awaited. The prison in the Curragh was previously used by IPS for a number of years up to 2003."
