Asked Justice
Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if there is a clear pathway for internal disciplinary issues regarding officers, personnel and management employed in the Irish Prison Service, including being put on notice for transfer to another prison facility here, gross negligence accusations or health and safety issues; the pathway available to seek an independent impartial investigation and fair hearing for such issues; the protective controls in place to protect persons facing such disciplinary issues while an investigative process is underway; and the due process available to ensure there is no victimisation or penalisation for an ongoing case.
