Ms Caron McCaffrey:
They are separate entitlements. If someone is injured, ordinarily they are entitled to six months' full pay and six months' half pay. We have also agreed with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to introduce a specific scheme for prison officers who are seriously assaulted. They are entitled to 12 months' full pay.
