Minister for Justice Helen McEntee today welcomed the graduation of 133 Recruit Prison Officers at the Print Works, Dublin Castle.
The new officers have now completed their Higher Certificate of Arts in Custodial Care (HCCC) and have already been placed in prisons throughout the State, including the Operational Support Group and the Prison Service Escort Corp.
The HCCC is developed and delivered jointly by the Irish Prison Service and South East Technological University (SETU).
The graduating class form part of the Irish Prison Service’s latest recruitment drive.
Minister McEntee said:
"I am honoured to congratulate our graduates for reaching this milestone and to thank them for their commitment. Over the course of their training, they will have gained the knowledge and skills to carry out their work in a professional and meaningful way, and to show patience, compassion, and strength under challenging circumstances."
