Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Accessing Justice: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Caron McCaffrey:

It is, by a small enough percentage by population. We have a staffing cohort of 2,200 and we are carrying approximately 150 vacancies. Every effort is being made not just to bring us up to our full, existing staff complement but, as I mentioned earlier, we have gotten approval for an extra 200 prison officers, and we hope to bring them into the system this year.
