Yes. I have a few questions because some Deputies will want to come back in a second time.
I will deal with a few issues which I touched on early with regard to officers injured in the course of their duties. I ask the witnesses to take me through the steps. The service states that an injury warrant goes to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and others have to take cases to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal. Some other cases go to court. I ask the Prison Service to take me through the chart. We will deal with them, one by one. In the case of this injury warrant and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, what is the process? They apply to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, not to the Prison Service. Will the Prison Service briefly give me the steps?
