I wish to advise the Deputy that there is no tariff system in operation in this State insofar as prison sentencing is concerned. I can advise the Deputy that on 30 November, 2010 the number of sentenced prisoners in custody was 3,721 of which 3,583 were male and 138 were females. While the statistics maintained by the Irish Prison Service are not categorised in the format requested by the Deputy, I trust that the information provided will be of some assistance.
