The Irish Prison Service Chaplaincy Service has a significant contribution to make as part of the multi-disciplinary team in a prison, addressing the physical, social and spiritual needs of prisoners in a holistic way. 

Each Chaplain is required under Rule 119(1) of the Prison Rules to submit a report to the Director General and to the Governor on matters relating to the provision of chaplaincy services in the preceding year.  I understand that arrangements are being made to publish the full suite of Chaplains' reports for 2021 on the Irish Prison Service website www.irishprisons.ie  in the third quarter of 2022.
