Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Prisoners' Rights: Discussion with Northern Ireland Prisoner Ombudsman

11:15 am

Mr. Paul Maskey, MP:

I thank Ms McCabe for her presentation. Ms McCabe referred to the Anne Owers report, the problem of bringing about change and the need for a cross-party approach to make real change. Does the Prisoner Ombudsman believe it has been rigorous enough to implement the report and some of the associated issues? Could more be done with regard to the report? Major changes must take place, but I believe the process must be rigorous and driven hard to ensure the changes materialise. Does the Prisoner Ombudsman believe this is the case at present?
