Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 July 2004
303 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of persons who have failed to return to custody after being out on temporary release in the district covered by the Store Street Garda station; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20832/04]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy is not available. Prisoner addresses are not classified by Garda district and are also subject to change as persons being committed to prison will in some cases lose their accommodation. However, I understand the Irish Prison Service is carrying out a detailed examination of its records of persons who have failed to return to custody following a period of temporary release and I have arranged for the Deputy's query to be incorporated into that exercise. The Irish Prison Service will forward the relevant information to the Deputy when it becomes available.
