View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 258 to 260, inclusive, together.
I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Irish Prison Service. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to collate the information requested in the time allowed. I will write to the Deputy directly when the information is to hand.
