About Mountjoy Prison
Mountjoy holds adult men for the Dublin metropolitan area in local and sentenced conditions. It sits next to the Dóchas Centre (women) — two gates, two booking systems.
The Irish Prison Service publishes family guidance on irishprisons.ie; it does not publish who is on each landing.
Locating someone
Ireland has no searchable national inmate list. Confirm placement through IPS official contact or the prisoner’s solicitor.
Cloverhill remand and Mountjoy sentenced traffic get confused daily — match the prison named on IPS correspondence.
