Question 108: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the claims made at the recent conference of an association (details supplied) that paramilitary prisoners in Portlaoise maximum security prison enjoy a relaxed regime in which they can hold military style parades, have murals on the wall, and order in food from outside; the reason these prisoners are treated differently from other prisoners in custody; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
