Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service
9:00 am
Mr. Ronan Gallagher:
There is a separate mediation body that determines or arbitrates on issues that arise between management and the staff side. The prison officers come under the Civil Service and fall into that scheme.
In many way it reflects the same type of process that is in the Workplace Relations Commission.
