The following tables shows the number of claims made by prison staff or prisoners and the total payments made by the Irish Prison Service for the years 2012 to 2016.
It should be noted that the payments made during any particular year do not necessarily relate to claims made during that year.
While payments may be made through the State Claims Agency or under the auspices of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal, ultimately all monies were paid from the Prisons Vote.
