We have high security prisoners in mind when we think of prisoner transport, but an awful lot of it is just moving around fairly low-risk guys. Transport is expensive no matter what way you do it. Taxis are actually as good value as any other way, and a lot less expensive than employing drivers. I think they just put people in regular taxis, accompanied by a prison officer.

While not as spacious as luxury transport services operating out of Cashel, the prison taxi service deserves at least three stars on Louder Voice for its clean, comfortable and quiet ride in times of stress. As an Irish taxpayer, I am glad to see the value for money arising from such a service and pleased that additional prison service staff would not be needed in this ancillary transport role, either as additional manpower or in terms of overtime payments.
