Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Donnellan:
These are what we call 40/02s. Anything over €25,000 must be tendered within our prison system. As the Deputy said, we had 38 cases in 2015, and they fall across three main areas. A total of 14 cases fell within the first area of proprietary goods. These were specialist goods for the prison system, such as locks, which are a legacy issues and must be replaced, fire alarm systems, etc. Proprietary goods accounted for 14 cases, or €2.4 million.
