The POA Annual Conference is taking place today.
A Midlands Prison Officer is detailing the extreme forces they're working against when it comes to contraband being brought into the facility.
President of the Irish Prison Officer's Association, Tony Power, says drones are now "fire bombing" contraband nets before depositing contraband in the form of drugs, weapons, and phones.
The POA Annual Conference is taking place in Galway today, and prison officers' need for help when it comes to daily drone incursions will be a major issue.
Mr Power says criminality in and around Irish prisons is getting harder to police:
