I wish to inform the Deputy that I have been informed by the Irish Prison Service that it is not possible to provide the information requested. However, statistics on the number of committals to prison custody as a result of contempt of court order are set out in the following table. The table covers the years from 2008 to 2011.
Year | Total |
---|---|
2008 | 20 |
2009 | 21 |
2010 | 26 |
2011 | 43 |
Figures for 2012 will be available upon completion of the Irish Prison Service Annual Report.
