37. The Lord Lieutenant may from time to time by any general or special rule appropriate, either wholly or partially, particular prisons in Ireland to particular classes of prisoners under sentence of any court or of any competent authority to which such prisoners may be committed or removed, and may remove any prisoner from any one prison to any other prison in Ireland, for the purpose of his undergoing the whole or any portion of his punishment in such prison: Provided, that a prisoner who is confined in a prison situate beyond the limits of the county borough or place in which he was convicted of his offence shall, at the time of his discharge, be entitled to be taken back at the public expense to the county borough or place in which he was so convicted.
