Written answers

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily retrievable and the allocation of time and resources away from essential duties for this purpose cannot be justified. However, I am advised that incidents such as that outlined by the Deputy have been reported in Mountjoy Prison, Limerick Prison and Wheatfield Prison in the time period specified.
