Notes to the editor:
In October 2011, the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality agreed to establish a Sub-Committee from within its own Members to investigate the issue of Penal Reform. Senator Ivana Bacik, as a member of the Sub-Committee, agreed to undertake to produce a Rapporteur Report on behalf of the Sub-Committee. The Sub-Committee met in public on four occasions and in private on four occasions to consider the issue in detail, including written submissions received, and to hear from a wide selection of stakeholders.
