I can confirm that the attention of my office has been drawn to the particular circumstances of this case, and that my office has responded to correspondence received from the individual concerned.

While the matter of making an award under the provisions of the Civil Service Injury Warrants is one that would fall ultimately to my Department, the initial application would be raised in the first instance with the Officer’s employer, the Irish Prison Service. The relevant Statutory Instruments governing the Injury Warrants lay down a cumulative set of conditions that must be complied with in order for an Injury Warrant allowance to be approved in any case. No recommendation in regard to such an award in respect of the individual in question has been referred to my Department for consideration.
