On Thursday April 11th, An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern visited Limerick to open the new sports Arena Complex at the University of Limerick.

The use of sniffer dogs has been introduced into the jail. Sniffer dogs, controlled by prisons officers that make up the 'search team' are now being used to assess visitors.
