The Tonight Show, Virgin Media TV - Bail Re-Offending & Ireland’s Prison Overcrowding

11th March 2025

Irish Penal Reform Trust Executive Director Saoirse Brady appeared on the panel of The Tonight Show, on Virgin Media TV on 11 March 2025 discussing bail re-offending and Ireland’s prison overcrowding.

Saoirse explained that if we want to tackle crime, we need to support the individuals. Supervised bail for adults - where services come to them - would lead to more engagement with services with people then less likely to offend in the future.
