Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Bobby Aylward: Why were prison warders coming back to me as a public representative to try to get some answers for that? Why did the system not alleviate their fears?

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Bobby Aylward: Okay, I will move on to drugs in prison. We all hear about the epidemic of drugs in prison. Have the witnesses got on top of drugs? Are some prisons worse than others? Is the Prison Service getting control of the problem? We hear about people going into prison without a drug problem and coming out with one. What is Ms McCaffrey's reply to that?

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Bobby Aylward: I have one question on legal costs. I was going to ask more but my time is up. Awards came to €492,000 in 2017 but the legal costs were €1 million. That does not add up. The legal costs were double what the awards were. Why would that be? How can the witnesses stand over it? It sounds incredible and sounds like an extremely large sum of money. I am sure some procedures...

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Bobby Aylward: A whiplash or whatever might cost more over here than it does in England. What I am saying is that for something like a sprained ankle there should be a fixed payment and no legal costs.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Bobby Aylward: If there were one award given at a fixed amount, all the cases could be fixed without any legal proceedings. For the same wrongdoing, for example a claim in respect of "slopping out", the award in the first case should apply to subsequent cases. Should everyone not get the same award if it is for the same case for more than 100 prisoners in Mountjoy or wherever, and cut out the legal costs?

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (16 Jan 2019)
Bobby Aylward: Page 45 of the programme for Government refers to commercial rate valuations. I have correspondence from numerous small businesses in Carlow and Kilkenny which are being crippled by 300% and 400% increases in rates following a review carried out last year. Some of the business owners I spoke to will have to close if the rates keep rising. Fianna Fáil introduced a Bill in the Dáil...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (16 Jan 2019)
Bobby Aylward: Businesses in Carlow and Kilkenny now have debt collectors after them. They paid the same rates as the year before. They made appeals but have heard nothing back from the appeals office in 12 months and they are now being pursued for money while their appeals are under way. I told them not to pay the money until the appeal is replied to but they now have debt collectors after them to pay...
- Rural Crime: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jan 2019)
Bobby Aylward: Fianna Fáil supports the broad thrust of this motion tabled by the Rural Independent Group. We tabled a similar motion to address rural crime in November 2017 which was passed by this House. In preparation for tonight's speech, I went back and read over what I said that night. It is unfortunate that I am back over a year later raising the same issue, as little has changed since. I...
