Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) David Cullinane: If I can return to the point regarding prison infrastructure on page 27, I would make the point again that there was a correlation made between construction projects, renovations and so on and a reduction in staffing requirements. Did the Department or the Irish Prison Service have an eye on achieving a reduction in staffing requirements in the context of any capital spend from 2005 onwards?...

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) David Cullinane: I return to the point I raised with the Comptroller and Auditor General about the allegation that was made about prison officers playing the system and overtime and so on. I would also like to deal with the issue of sick leave, which is important. What impact does the physical environment of the job of prison officers, the conditions under which they work and stress have on sick leave?...

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) David Cullinane: I accept that. I refer Mr. Donnellan to chapter 2.33 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report in which sick leave in individual prisons is detailed. Would it be fair to say that sick leave is highest in the more difficult institutions?

- Pensions (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Feb 2017)
David Cullinane: I commend Teachta Willie O’Dea for bringing this Bill to the floor of the Dáil and giving us an opportunity to address the important issues it covers. I am glad my party is supporting the Bill, despite the fact we see some flaws in it. In the same spirit, Sinn Féin has brought forward Bills, the thrust of which Fianna Fáil states it supports. However, as it sees the...
- Pensions (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Feb 2017)
David Cullinane: The Minister does not believe it can be amended, but any Bill can be rewritten. I do not think the Minister has given sufficient justification for saying he will oppose the Bill. With Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil and some of the Independents, we have the numbers to get the Bill passed, which is new politics; therefore, the Minister will have to engage on the Bill. When hesays he will...
