Okay, thanks. It would not instil confidence. I will move on.
On the prisoners' shop, more concerns are raised in the Comptroller and Auditor General report. It seems we are going back and forth with the Irish Prison Service and it is not taking being taken seriously. There are serious questions outstanding. The Comptroller and Auditor General found examples where the prisoner assist programme funds were not used appropriately. I would like the witnesses to follow up and furnish the committee with examples of and details pertaining to such use.
