I wish to advise the Deputy that the information requested is contained in the following table.
I am advised by my officials in the Irish Prison Service that under the Irish Prison Service Complaints system, the outcome of each complaint should be communicated by the Governor to the complainant and the subject of the complaint within 14 days of date of receipt of the final investigation report.
I am further advised that there is a requirement to carry out investigations within a 3 month timeframe. In some cases this is not always feasible due to a number of operational factors, such as the availability of the complainant and/or subject/s for interview purposes, access to medical records and other similar issues. In such cases Investigators are required to submit a preliminary report and extensions of time to complete investigations are sanctioned on a case by case basis.
