Gardaí capture two inmates escaped from Cavan prison

Sinn Féin Justice spokesman Martin Kenny has said the Prison Service needs to examine how it's choosing what prisoners to send to open prisons.

A convicted drug dealer is still at large after absconding from Loughan House at the start of the month. File picture. 

The two inmates who absconded from an open prison in Co Cavan less than a fortnight since the last escape have been taken into custody by the gardaí.

The Prison Service has confirmed the men who escaped from the open centre near Blacklion earlier today have now been arrested.
