Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I am advised by my officials in the Irish Prison Service that the Human Resource functions for all administrative grades in the Irish Prison Service have transitioned from the Department of Justice and Equality to the Irish Prison Service.

Accordingly, I wish to advise that the Personnel Officer for all administrative grades in Irish Prison Service, including the Director General and Directors, is the Personnel Officer assigned to the Human Resource Directorate of the Irish Prison Service.
