Ceist:40 Tomás Mac Giolla asked the Minister for Justice the reason the outgoing chairman and other members of the Mountjoy Visiting Committee were not reappointed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Mountjoy Visiting Committee.
The Prisons (Visiting Committee) Act, 1925, provides for the constitution of visiting committees for prisons and places of detention, and the persons appointed to the new visiting committee for Mountjoy meet the criteria prescribed for such appointment. The Act does not require that any members of visiting committees shall be reappointed when their terms of office expire.
