I propose to take Questions Nos. 355 and 356 together.
As the Deputy will be aware, the Office of the Inspector of Prisons is a statutory body, independent in its work, set up under the Prisons Act 2007.
The section 31(2) report referred to by the Deputy has not yet been furnished to me by the Inspector of Prisons. However, the Inspector continues to engage with my officials regarding the progress made on the finalisation of the report and work is ongoing in that regard.
Publication of the monitoring report referred to, which has been received by my Department, is held pending completion of the section 31(2) report.
