Vote 21 - Prisons (15 Feb 2024) Brian Stanley: I am just trying to understand the figures. Obviously it is a huge number. The year 2022 seemed to be very disappointing from the point of view that in the majority of cases, 10,000 out of 13,600, a decision was not made on them.

Vote 21 - Prisons (15 Feb 2024) Brian Stanley: Could Ms McPhillips just briefly touch on the airlines? There are provisions whereby they can be fined if their ground staff do not carry out the required checks. How many fines were handed out to airlines in 2022 and 2023?

Vote 21 - Prisons (15 Feb 2024) Brian Stanley: It is a very high number – nearly 1,000 fines a year - being handed out to airlines. Do I take it that there is a fine for each individual case? Is that why the numbers are so high? Nearly 1,000 fines a year are handed out. My understanding is that the maximum-----

Vote 21 - Prisons (15 Feb 2024) Brian Stanley: There is a large number involved. I have a question on restorative justice. Ms McPhillips knew I was going to ask her this. Ms McCaffrey has outlined the position. My memory of it is that back in the late 1980s there were approximately 2,500 prisoners. We had a smaller population. There were a lot of people in prison connected with the conflict in the North and conflict-related...

Vote 21 - Prisons (15 Feb 2024) Brian Stanley: Could we maximise it? When we read the court notices in the local newspapers the reference is always to a fine or custodial sentence being given. With restorative justice the victim gets recompense, there is a higher level of correction and rehabilitation for the perpetrator in terms of moving away from-----

Vote 21 - Prisons (15 Feb 2024) Brian Stanley: Figures available internationally show that. Ms McCaffrey has confirmed that the average annual cost per prisoner across the estate, so not high-security prisoners, is €88,000. That is a large bill.

Vote 21 - Prisons (15 Feb 2024) Brian Stanley: The first person we have to think of is the victim. The second is the perpetrator because obviously we want to try to bring about change. I agree that there are often underlying issues. There may be undiagnosed mental health issues when the perpetrator is young or he or she may not have received appropriate treatment for ADHD. We could write the book and we see it in communities. I know...
