Could the Minister tell us when her Department received the instructions?

That is the same line of questioning.

When did her Department, acting as agent, receive instructions, or when was the request sent to her Department to do this work? My question was originally down to the Minister for Justice.

As I said at the outset, in relation to the major cell block refurbishment issue, which I presume is the one to which the Deputy is alluding, we are still awaiting instructions from the Department of Justice. A prototype cell is planned and will be going ahead, but on the major cell refurbishment, which I think is the one of interest to the Deputy, we await instructions from the Department of Justice.

To clarify one point, matters such as the provision of towels are part of the problem and also adequate hygiene. Would that not be a matter for the Department of Justice, where the two areas override? My question was switched to the Office of Public Works.

I think that the matter of the provision of towels for the Bride— well is one for the Office of Public Works.

In the short term, this was one of the problems and action was to be taken immediately. It did not seem a matter for long term Department of Finance provisions.

I would be inclined to agree with that, but as of now the Office of Public Works are undertaking the refurbishment of the prototype cell on which the major refurbishment of the cell block will be based.
