On 7 December 2017 the terms of reference were expanded to include Rapid-Build dormitory prisons, an area of significant interest to PSA/CPSU members employed across the State. Then on 30 January 2018 the Committee advised that an intended term of reference regarding the corporate governance of GEO had been inadvertently omitted from the original notice. The PSA/CPSU sought and was granted an extension of time on this basis. Then on 13 February 2018, two days before the original closing date, a further term of reference was added, namely the Benchmarking process currently being undertaken in every private and public sector correctional centre in the State. Benchmarking has been an enormous undertaking by the PSA over the last twelve months and required a significant re-write of our submission. Another extension was sought on this basis and kindly granted by the Committee. Not all challenges in the creation of this submission however were due to variations to the inquiry by the Committee.On 27 February 2018 the Minister for Corrections, the Hon.
