The association wants to extra capacity delivered immediately.
The Prison Officer's Association is calling on the government to reopen old prison facilities to cope with overcrowding.
Tony Power President of the POA believes that 'E block' in Portlaoise prison, the Curragh prison camp and the Old Cork prison should be made use of.
Minister Helen McEntee announced plans to create over 600 cell places in midlands prisons last year.
To date in the midlands, there's 16 extra spaces which have come at an estimated cost in excess of €2m, with the prison services creating another 330 spaces by putting bunk beds into cells in already over crowded prisons.
Mr Power says, plans need to be made for the future of prison services:
