I hope the Tánaiste will call for her release. One of the issues that has arisen concerns a Bill that has been included in the legislative programme since Fine Gael and the Labour Party came to government, namely, the inspection of places of detention Bill. This Bill will give legislative effect to international conventions, put the Council of Europe inspection regime on a statutory footing and address a number of issues relating to prison visiting committees. Will the legislation be accelerated in order that conditions in our gaols can be raised to an appropriate standard for those who are interned and incarcerated?
