708. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of claims made by staff and prisoners and the total payments in both categories regarding accidents and incidents across the prison service in each of the years 2012 to 2016; the sources from which these payments made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26613/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe following tables show the number of claims made by prison staff or prisoners and the total payments made by the Irish Prison Service for the years 2012 to 2016.
It should be noted that the payments made during any particular year do not necessarily relate to claims made during that year.
While payments may be made through the State Claims Agency or under the auspices of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal, ultimately all monies were paid from the Prisons Vote.
