I want to raise a specific issue. This committee heard private testimony from a whistleblower in the Prison Service in late 2018 and officials from the Prison Service appeared before the Committee on Public Accounts in early 2019 - it was before I was a member of the committee - to answer the issues raised. The Department of Justice then commissioned an investigative report in October 2019 which put the cost of corruption identified at more than €20 million. I do not want to explore the specifics of the case further. Are the Department of Justice and the Prison Service now content that adequate safeguards are in place to prevent the misuse or misappropriation of prisoner labour or prison materials?
