Summary
New figures from the Central Statistics Office show that Clare recorded the highest rate of re-offending in the country last year. Of the 49 people with a Clare address who were released from prison in 2023, 31 committed a new offence within a year, giving the county a re-offending rate of 63%, compared to the national average of 41%. To discuss what these figures tell us, Alan Morrissey was joined by Saoirse Brady, Executive Director of the Irish Penal Reform Trust. Photo (c) Dick Luria from Photo Images via Canva
