Five prisoners still in hospital in Portlaoise.

Cúigear príosúnach fós san ospidéal i bPort Laoise.

Prison officers in the country’s prisons are more alert than usual since at least eleven prisoners fell very ill in Portlaoise Prison yesterday afternoon after taking an overdose of some drug.

Tá oifigigh phríosúin i bpríosúin na tíre airdealleach thar mar is gnách ó buaileadh an-tinn aon phríosúnach déag ar a laghad i bPríosún Phort Laoise tráthnóna inné tar éis dóibh ródháileog de dhruga éigin a thógáil.

As soon as the attention of prison officials was drawn to the emergency, ten prisoners were taken to the local hospital on bail.

A luaithe a tarraingíodh aird na n-oifigeach príosúin ar an éigeandáil, tugadh deichniúr príosúnach chun an ospidéil áitiúil faoi théirim.

Afterwards, however, more prisoners fell ill and at least one of them was also taken to hospital.

Ina dhiaidh sin, áfach, buaileadh tinn tuilleadh príosúnach agus tugadh duine acu ar a laghad chun an ospidéil chomh maith.

Three of the eleven are said to be seriously ill and in intensive care.

Deirtear go bhfuil triúr den aon duine dhéag an-dona tinn agus faoi dhianchúram.

Six recovered and have since been returned to prison.

Tháinig biseach ar sheisear agus tá siad tugtha ar ais chun an phríosúin ó shin.

The other two are said to be in a stable condition in hospital.

Deirtear go bhfuil bail sheasmhach san ospidéal ar an mbeirt eile.

Three weeks ago, the Irish Prison Service warned prisoners about the drug nits and the dangers associated with it.

Trí seachtaine ó shin, thug Seirbhís Phríosúin na hÉireann foláireamh do phríosúnaigh faoin druga níotáisín agus faoin gcontúirt a bhaineann leis.

Nitasine is an opiate drug that slows the heart rate and breathing rate.

Druga ópóideach is ea níotáisín a mhoillíonn an ráta croí agus an ráta análaithe.

The Prison Service says they are working in conjunction with the Health Service Executive and have obtained an extra supply of the medication naloxone in case it is needed.

Deir an tSeirbhís Phríosúin go bhfuil siad ag obair i gcomhar le Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte agus go bhfuil soláthar breise den chógas leighis nalocsón faighte acu ar fhaitíos go mbeadh sé ag teastáil.

Naloxone can instantly reverse the damage caused by nitrite and other drugs and save people from death.

Is féidir le nalocsón an díobháil a dhéanann níotáisín agus drugaí eile a chealú ar an bpointe agus daoine a thógáil ón mbás.

The Irish Trust for the Reform of the Criminal System is a prisoners’ rights organization and they believe that the overcrowding of people in the country’s prisons is contributing to the drug problem in them.

Eagraíocht cearta príosúnach is ea Iontaobhas na hÉireann um Athchóiriú an Chórais Choiriúil agus dar leo go bhfuil an plódú daoine i bpríosúin na tíre ag cur le fadhb na ndrugaí iontu.

Speaking on RTÉ today, the executive director of the organization Saoirse Brady said that there were 5,017 people in various prisons in the State yesterday and that is 12% more than the number of people that have room for them.

Ag labhairt di ar RTÉ inniu, dúirt stiúrthóir feidhmiúcháin na heagraíochta Saoirse Brady go raibh 5,017 duine i bpríosúin éagsúla sa Stát inné agus gurb in 12 faoin gcéad níos mó ná an líon daoine a bhfuil áit iontu dóibh.

Saoirse Brady also pointed out that many of the people who are put in prison are drug addicts but they often do not get the support they need while in detention.

Thug Saoirse Brady le fios freisin gur andúiligh drugaí go leor de na daoine a chuirtear i bpríosúin ach gur minic nach bhfaigheann siad an tacaíocht atá de dhíth orthu agus iad faoi choinneáil.
