The person referred to by the Deputy is serving concurrent five year prison sentences on foot of warrants issued at the Court of Criminal Appeal on 20 October 2003. His current remission date stands at 14 July 2006. I understand that the other issues raised by the Deputy are currently the subject of court proceedings and accordingly it would not be appropriate for me to comment further at this time.
