- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: I ask him specifically to investigate a Hyundai i40 allocated to the Midlands Prison to discover, in particular, where it is and who has it. I also ask him to investigate a van at Mountjoy Prison and a tractor at Shelton Abbey that my research indicates may not be accounted for. I appreciate that he cannot do so here today. Obviously, there are multiple vehicles in the fleet and we are all...
