The facility has bed space for 875 prisoners.
The Midlands Prison continues to be overcrowded.
904 prisoners were in custody at the facility yesterday, despite only having the bed space for 875.
Portlaoise Prison was also near capacity - the 229-bed institution had 218 prisoners in custody.
The worst affected facility in the country was the female prison in Limerick - that was at 161% capacity.
Last month, a report found ongoing jail overcrowding risks undermining Ireland's penal system, with people sleeping on mattresses regularly.
