Almost €5,000 of taxpayers’ money was spent on make-up and hair products for beauty courses at the Dochas Centre women’s prison last year.
Figures obtained under Freedom of Information show €4,792 was spent on products used to teach inmates how to do salon treatments and hairdressing.
The salon – named Head and Shoulders after star pupils Scissor Sisters Linda and Charlotte Mulhall – teaches manicures, facials and how to apply makeup.
