Ms Caron McCaffrey:
In respect of that individual case, the facts of that case are disputed by the Prison Service and we have appealed that case to the Labour Court. I am not in a position to comment further. What I can say in terms of exchange of duties is that there are checks and balances in place in order to exchange a duty. Exchanging a duty is a common feature of all 24-7 services because there is a rigidity in our rosters that does not allow flexibility to staff.
