Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons

9:00 am

Mr. Don Culliton:

-----and the arrangements etc., it is also a matter in which we have not a full involvement. Individuals are entitled to make a claim directly to the CICT. As the Chairman rightly pointed out earlier on, that process is managed external to the Prison Service, albeit that we may be asked for our views in relation to a particular incident. At the end of that process when the prison officer, if it is a prison officer, is awarded moneys under the CICT regime, those moneys are paid out by the Irish Prison Service. It is something that is dealt with external to the Irish Prison Service and we have limited involvement in it.
