Clare Daly

Question:

171. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of Irish Sign Language interpreting hours provided to the Irish Prison Service in 2011. [14474/19]

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I am advised by my officials in the Irish Prison Service that the information requested by the Deputy is not readily available and would require manual examination of paper files for the year 2011, which would involve a disproportionate amount of staff time and resources to retrieve, collate and verify.
