Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
461. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if a person who is rejected for employment in the Irish Prison Service on mental health grounds may seek and submit a second opinion as part of his or her appeal of that decision; and if not, the reason therefor. [35215/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can advise the Deputy that I have been informed by the Irish Prison Service that there is an automatic internal medical review of medical evidence of a candidate who is deemed medically unfit at pre-employment and candidates are free to submit additional medical evidence as part of their original job application. There is no appeal mechanism around pre-employment assessments.
