Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: That is grand and that is 365 days a year. I will come back to that in a few minutes. I am told that there is a Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, investigation into the area of gardaí colluding with prison services in relation to prison staff. Can the witnesses confirm that?

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: As far as Ms McCaffrey is concerned, there is no investigation.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: Surely GSOC would let Ms McCaffrey know because it would want to question people or it would be asking questions?

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: Okay, we will leave that one there. Did the Prison Service hire a private company to install cameras? While this was touched on earlier and I may not have been paying attention properly, I do not believe it was teased out. This is independent of the normal camera services that the service obviously has for security and so on but were cameras installed to watch staff?

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: Yes, but rather than answer that question could the witnesses answer my question? They are clearly different questions.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: Surveillance could mean someone following me down the street or it could mean listening to phone calls. It could mean many things so I am interested in finding out if cameras were installed. That is a capital expenditure and I am sure that the Department or the Prison Service would know about it. I am taking a mental note that the Secretary General is answering a lot of the questions.

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: I might say that was a superior kick for touch. If we are stuck for a number ten and Jonathan Sexton gets injured we will be calling Mr. O'Driscoll.

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: I would say so, certainly as a tactician anyway. I ask Ms McCaffrey if any cameras were installed in prisons to watch staff?

It is a pretty clear question; did we install cameras to watch staff, yes or no? In the interests of the efforts of the good Inspector of Prisons, who I know is not overrun with resources and staff, Ms McCaffrey could help her by answering the question for us. Did we...
