195 Mr. Kenneally asked the Minister for Justice the largest period of a sentence that was commuted in 1995 in any one individual case, ignoring remission regarding the early release programme; the next ten cases in descending order; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2615/96]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 194 and 195 together.
The information sought by the Deputy is not readily available. To ascertain it would require the manual examination of up to 6,000 files and the collation of the information. Such use of staff time could not be justified at present.
