On 17 January, I raised an issue of a potential sexual harassment case against a nurse. Initially, Mr. Culliton said there were no agency nurses and then that there may have been some. It turned out there were. CPL is the company they were from. I suggested that he make contact with whatever agencies the Irish Prison Service had used in recent years and asked if there were instances of sexual harassment, to which I had previously referred. I said I was sure he would like to see that dealt with, if it occurred. He responded that he would. I asked that he do that, he said “yes” and I said “great”. That was on 17 January. Will Mr. Culliton tell us what he did after that in regard to that case?
