Following the provision of further information by the Deputy, I am informed by the Irish Prison Service that it is conducting a search of records dating to 2013, to establish whether there was an incident of the type referred to and any other information in that regard.

I will write directly to the Deputy as soon as possible, once the results of that search of records are available.
