I have been informed by the Irish Prison Service that contracts offered to Prison Clerical Officers are in line with legislation and regulations governing civil service recruitment. The granting of particular working arrangements, raised by the Deputy, is at the discretion of civil service bodies and is determined by organisational requirements.
