The information requested by the Deputy is not available. Prisoner addresses are not classified by Garda district and are also subject to change as persons being committed to prison will in some cases lose their accommodation. However, I understand the Irish Prison Service is carrying out a detailed examination of its records of persons who have failed to return to custody following a period of temporary release and I have arranged for the Deputy's query to be incorporated into that exercise. The Irish Prison Service will forward the relevant information to the Deputy when it becomes available.
