As the Minister, Deputy Charles Flanagan, stated in response to an earlier question, we all are aware that the issue of prisoners is a sensitive and complex one, but in this instances decisions on such specific matters continue to fall within the jurisdiction of the Spanish authorities and courts and need to be determined within their legal and constitutional provisions. As such, I must continue to state it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the specifics involved in this case.
