I have a query about the Prison Service in general. I do not know the remit of this committee in this regard but I have received many complaints from prison officers about the system that is in place, especially around the rehiring of retired prison officers and not hiring new prison officers. I do not know if this committee has a remit in this area. The prison officers are not happy with the system that is in place and they have no say. There is a lot of overtime involved so there is money involved for that particular Vote. What can this committee do as I have had this complaint several times?
