I wonder how many UK prisoners are in Ireland. Could there be some kind of transfer programme? I am a very strong believer in sentencing, and a life sentence should mean life rather than just 12 or 15 years. In Ireland the minimum sentence for certain crimes should be increased, but that is a different day's work. It has been mentioned that there are 12 or 15 IPP prisoners stuck over there. We should do much more work on this.
