I agree with that. However, in the case of prisoner A, who might be a guest of the State for a considerable period and who wants to have as easy a run as possible, and prison authorities that could do with a bit of intelligence as to what is happening on the landing, can Ms McCaffrey state categorically that said prisoner would be allowed a mobile phone and could feed back to the authorities as to what is happening on the landing in order that the authorities would give him or her an easier run? Is that going on anywhere or is it absolutely not going on?
