Alan Kelly: No, I must insist. This could be going on for up to a year. It is going on at least six months. It is strange that it did not come up in correspondence. The report has been promised on a number of occasions and there has been a number of deadlines.

Alan Kelly: I know we have a tight schedule but I want to say to Deputy MacSharry that the issues relating to the Irish Prison Service are pretty seismic. We need a session to deal with those and as soon as possible. I was going to raise the following issue last week or the week before.
