As that was no longer working out for it, for cost or other reasons, it chose not to stay in. The Irish Prison Service put it out to tender. Nobody capable of or interested in doing all 12 won. Therefore in conjunction with the union the mess committees were set up. Up to 2012 all the expenditure on the contractor would all have been above board and in the Irish Prison Service's accounting. So much was spent on butter, so much spent on heat and light, so much spent on chefs, etc. Was it all integrated into it?
