Penal Reform: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Úna Doyle:
Let me add to the comments on community service. While the primary function is to implement the court order in terms of the work being done, we recognise the secondary benefits associated with developing a work ethic, skills, team-working and all the elements that will contribute to somebody's skills base when he or she seeks employment or engages in other activity himself or herself. For us, that is a really important element of the programme.
