Mr. Mark Kelly:

That is an absolutely valid observation. Even with the very limited data we have on the oversight of the category-A complaints, there are certain patterns observable, and names of certain prison officers arise with a certain frequency. I have been the Chief Inspector for only two months but one of my top priorities is to work with what we currently have to determine what can be done to engage effectively regarding the pattern I have described. I will meet Ms Caron McCaffrey, the Director General of the Irish Prison Service, tomorrow to discuss that, among other matters. The Senator is right to highlight the issue.
