Vol. 428 No. 5
106 Mr. Noonan (Limerick East) asked the Minister for Justice the plans, if any, she has to recruit extra prison officers in 1993; if a new recruitment competition will commence; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
The last competition for the recruitment of prison officers was held in October, 1990. The panel of successful condidates set up following this competition has now been closed. The matter as to whether a new recruitment competition will be held or whether further recruitment will take place in 1993 is under consideration.
