I have discussed issues relating to this and other prisoners with the Minister of Justice, Mr. David Ford, MLA, including the conditions in which they are being held. The Deputy has described the licence process and the issues that arose in that regard. As she is aware, a court case was also involved.

My understanding is that the Parole Commissioners are due to consider her case shortly. My information is that three dates have been identified for its hearing. It will be heard shortly. The intention is for the commissioners to make a decision shortly afterwards.

I recently discussed the matter with the Secretary of State. I am aware that Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan and other Members have visited Ms Price where she is detained.
