The office of the inspector of prisons and places of detention was established on a non-statutory basis in 2002. The annual budget for the prisons inspectorate is allocated from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform Vote - Vote No. 19. The expenditure in question was met from that budget in the normal manner.
