Talk:Port Laoise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Portlaoise is home to the maximum security Portlaoise Gaol, home to most of the Northern Irish terrorists, and to the Midlands Prison."

This sentence taken from the article is out of date. Portlaois jail is not used for persons convicted of "terrorist" offences anymore to any great extent. Many have been released under the terms of the Good Friday agreement and most of those remaining have been transferred to another facility in Ballinasloe.
