I am aware of the case to which the Deputy refers. As I said in my response to Question No. 99 of 5 July 2011 tabled by Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív, I understand that the prisoner in question has initiated legal proceedings with a view to obtaining early release. As the matter is currently before the courts, it would not be appropriate for me to comment any further at this stage other than to confirm that my officials continue to monitor developments.
