I am advised by the Director General of the Irish Prison Service that the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour applies to employees of the Irish Prison Service.

This Code forms part of the terms of employment of all civil servants who are obliged to adhere to it at all times.

Under the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour, an employee who is convicted of a criminal offence or given the benefit of the Probation Act when charged with a criminal offence, must report that fact to their Personnel Officer to consider whether there are implications for their official position. This requirement does not apply to civil orders of the type referred to.
