Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Mr. Donnellan will understand why I am asking my next question, coming as I do from Portlaoise. Is he aware of proposals by some quarters in the HSE to reduce the accident and emergency hours in Portlaoise hospital? Has the Prison Service discussed the implications of that with the HSE in terms of any incidents that might happen in the prison out-of-hours?

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: I ask Mr. Donnellan to respond specifically on that issue. I do not believe there is a proposal to reduce the accident and emergency hours at the Mater Hospital or in Tallaght but it has been mentioned by the HSE with regard to Portlaoise. Has the Prison Service been in contact with the HSE about that?

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: That is fine. I understand it is not a decision that Mr. Donnellan can make. On the same topic, if changes were made to the opening times, would the Prison Service have to put new arrangements in place to go to some other hospital, be it the Midland Regional Hospital at Tullamore, Tallaght hospital or some other hospital?

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: I am happy that the Prison Service has passed on the data and statistics to the HSE but did it also make the point that there is an additional risk involved in having to transport prisoners to a hospital that is further away?

Fine, that is good. I have one question which has not been posed by anyone else. Were there any break-outs during the year in question? Did any prisoners escape? I know that some people might not have come back after Christmas but-----

I have two final observations to make. We were supplied with a briefing note on the outturn for salaries, wages and allowances in 2014, which was €236 million, including a Supplementary Estimate of €5 million. The outturn in 2015 was €235 million. I see that the estimated outturn for 2016 is €230 million....

Finally, Mr. Donnellan mentioned step-down facilities and probation. I ask him to elaborate on that further. He also said that some people are not being released because the Prison Service would be releasing them into homelessness. We all know about people in homeless hostels and it is sad to think that some people are still in...
