The report referred to by the Deputy entitled Mental Illness in Irish Prisoners is the result of a survey undertaken by a team from the national forensic mental health service at the Central Mental Hospital under the supervision of the clinical director of the hospital. The Irish Prison Service was pleased to facilitate and part-fund the study. Decisions in regard to publication are a matter for the authors but I understand that the Irish Prison Service would, subject to the agreement of the authors, be willing to facilitate dissemination by placing the report on the IPS website when the authors are willing to release it.
