Ms Pauline McCabe:

I will deal with Senator White's questions first. I must respectfully point out that I do not run the prison service and therefore responding to the inspector's report is the job of those who do support the prison service. What we try to do through our day-to-day work and our other efforts is encourage, support and drive in any way we can the need for a positive and constructive response to the inspector's report.

In fairness, because we deal in evidence, it is important to point out that the inspector also reported some evidence of improvement at Maghaberry-----
