2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons

Ms Caron McCaffrey:
Around 2015, the Irish Prison Service introduced a policy on covert surveillance. In order to engage in covert surveillance, the permission of the director of operations is required in accordance with that policy and I can confirm that the director of operations has not provided any authority for covert surveillance to take place within our prisons. That is as much as I can tell the Deputy.
