Ms Caron McCaffrey:
We have engaged with the Central Statistics Office, CSO, on that so we get statistics on recidivism. The CSO does quite a significant amount of work both the Irish Prison Service and the probation service. We have engaged with the CSO to look specifically at particular programmes and whether or not a prisoner's involvement in that programme has reduced reoffending.
