Okay, so no external party is employed. We have established that the Irish Prison Service pays the prison officer and the allowance to the prisoner. It does not come from the funds coming into the till. Is there a tally roll on the till? Are they kept? Where are they held? We might then be able to cross-check. I am guessing there is no potential to pay electronically. Can one pay by card or is it all cash?
