It was important to say. Anything that improves financial controls is to be welcomed.
For the want of a better description, the Prison Service effectively operates a bank for members of the public who are incarcerated. Is the administration of that a process-heavy operation? The service must have an effective computer system. Could Ms McCaffrey provide some information on it, please? I am referring to the €1 million, the €500,000 and the ongoing balance in terms of additional moneys that are available to prisoners, including whatever moneys their families provide for them.
