As part of the expansion and reorganisation of the probation and aftercare service which I announced when moving the Second Reading of the Prisons Bill, 1970, on 26th May, I am arranging for the recruitment of an additional eight welfare officers to the service this year. One of them will be assigned to Cork city. A further officer will be appointed to Cork next year.
