I am advised by the Irish Prison Service that 252 prisoners were on temporary release on the 10 July 2017, of these 74 prisoners were engaged in the Community Return Scheme and 104 prisoners on the Community Support Scheme. The Irish Prison Service publishes figures in relation to the number of prisoners currently on temporary release on their website www.irishprisons.ie on a daily basis.
I am advised by the Irish Prison Service that information is not collated in the format requested by the Deputy, however I can inform the Deputy that compliance with the conditions of previous periods of temporary release is a deciding factor when considering current and future applications.
