Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 March 2004
134 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding a person (details supplied) in County Kildare seeking to return property to his Department in view of the fact that no personnel of the section of his Department have contacted the person with a view to collecting the material involved; his views on security regarding such items; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9413/04]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy had his probationary services terminated in 1998 because of a failure to provide regular service. On 7 August of that year, my Department wrote to advise the individual that he had been removed from the payroll and that he should immediately return his prison officer uniform and identification card to Mountjoy Prison. Those items remain the property of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and, while satisfied that the matter has had no implications for security to date, arrangements are now being made by the Prison Service to have the property in question collected without further delay.
