asked the Minister for Justice if he will state when it is proposed to publish the reports relating to prisons for the years 1939 to 1945, inclusive; and the grounds for the delay in the publication of these reports.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Publication of Prison Reports.
Mr. Boland
The publication of an annual report on prisons was suspended since 1939 as part of the general policy of conserving supplies of paper during the emergency. A report covering the period 1939-1944 inclusive is with the printer. The report for 1945 is in course of preparation and will be published this year.
