It appears to us that there is a clear issue in the Irish Prison Service around the lack of outside scrutiny. The problem seems to be that there is no independent monitoring of the Irish Prison Service. I recommend that we write to the Minister for Justice and ask her to request that an investigation be carried out by the Inspector of Prisons into all of the issues flagged up here and in the Comptroller and Auditor General report and the ongoing issues from previous witnesses.
