I propose to take Questions Nos. 283 to 285, inclusive, together.
I am advised by the Irish Prison Service that a breakdown of the information on the date requested by the Deputy is not available.
However, the Irish Prison Service provide a Quarterly Census Report which includes information regarding the number of prisoners under protection. This Census is published on the Irish Prison Service website, (www.irishprisons.ie). In relation to the numbers in custody, these figures are published daily on the Irish Prison Service website.
I am further advised that the reports mentioned above do not breakdown each institution by age category as this would require a manual examination of each record. Such an examination would require a disproportionate and inordinate amount of staff time and effort that could not be justified where there are other significant demands on resources.

I am advised by the Irish Prison Service that a breakdown of the information on the date requested by the Deputy is not available.
However, the Irish Prison Service provide a Quarterly Census Report which includes information regarding the number of prisoners on a restricted regime. This census is published on the Irish Prison Service website, (www.irishprisons.ie).
I am further advised that the report mentioned above does not breakdown each institution by age category as this would require a manual examination of each record. Such an examination would require a disproportionate and inordinate amount of staff time and effort that could not be justified where there are other significant demands on resources.
