Recommendations made by inquest juries in cases of prison deaths are fully considered by my Department with a view to implementation if deemed to be feasible and desirable.
Regarding the recommendation, which was made in one instance, that improved methods of communication should be provided to enable offenders in cells to attract attention more easily, work was already planned and is now in progress at Mountjoy Prison on the provision of a new cell-call system.
