Vote 21 - Prisons (28 Apr 2022) Catherine Murphy: This is linked. The ODCE was to be replaced by the Corporate Enforcement Agency. The expectation was that would happen in January. My understanding is that there was an error in the legislation as well as an issue around the provision of gardaí and that there was a memorandum of understanding, MOU. What role did the Department have in the MOU? Has it been signed at this stage? When...

Vote 21 - Prisons (28 Apr 2022) Catherine Murphy: Essentially, the number of gardaí is relatively small in the context of a very big area. Deputy Carroll MacNeill talked about the legislation. Legislation is one thing while the actual delivery of the terms of that legislation is another. This agency cannot do its work. It has been frustrated in doing its work because it has not had the gardaí. I am really trying to find out...

Vote 21 - Prisons (28 Apr 2022) Catherine Murphy: Okay. On the Hamilton report, is there a wall-planner in terms of the roll-out? For example, the Hamilton report identified a number of significant shortcomings with agency resources. It was not only personnel. Some of it was IT and technology. Are we going to see a plan of action?

Vote 21 - Prisons (28 Apr 2022) Catherine Murphy: Yes, that would be helpful. On the ex gratia payments in regard to the Department's expenditure on legal aid, presumably there are controls in place and there are very specific arrangements where that happens. Will Ms McPhillips tell us how it happens? What kind of scenario would qualify for that?

A salary is one thing but an overall package...
