Public Accounts Committee

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:

Locking is a very specialist issue in prisons. We put that out to tender for our new prison in Cork. We have a different locking arrangement there. As we build new prisons, we will put it out to tender, and if we get a more competitive price from somebody, we will. We are left with the legacy issues of replacing and fixing locks.
