The Prison Service Escort Corps was set up in 2005 arising from the Proposal for Organisational Change in the Irish Prison Service. The approved number of staff in the Escort Corps during 2007 and 2008 was 143, inclusive of all grades. I have been advised that, allowing for temporary variations caused by the retirement or movement of staff, the actual number of staff employed remained at or very near the approved number during 2007 and 2008.
