2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 – Prisons
Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service

9:00 am

Mr. Michael Donnellan:

There are three main reasons. Under proprietary goods, there were 14 cases valued at €2.4 million. Proprietary goods in the prison system include our locking system and our time and attendance system. These are bespoke systems and have historical context. We have to replace all our locking with the same company. They are the proprietary cases.

We had seven cases at a value of €3.4 million.
