I would like to ask a couple of questions about rights and how they were vindicated or otherwise during the pandemic. How did the Irish Prison Service do? What happened to prisoners and what was done to facilitate visits? I saw an announcement on social media stating that the Irish Prison Service had managed to reopen and re-establish family visits relatively early. What happened with regard to communal space and recreational facilities within prisons? The witnesses may not know.
