Ms Caron McCaffrey:

I apologise for the confusion on our side. There are two areas where we may utilise retired civil servants. One might be in respect of interview boards. We run a number of interview boards with the Public Appointments Service and we run our own interview boards. We also have a panel of category A investigators. Many of those might be retired gardaí because of the nature of the investigative skills they bring. That is for investigating serious complaints made by prisoners against our staff.
