Question 70: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on whether, when prisoners have flushable toilets in their cells, having to perform toilet functions in front of others amounts to inhuman and degrading treatment. [30802/11]

I can advise the Deputy that all cells with flushable toilets have a modesty screen. A programme to fit improved modesty screens in these cells to provide further privacy from other occupants is currently under way. Such screens have been fitted in Castlerea Prison, Cloverhill Prison and all doubled-up cells in Wheatfield. This programme will continue to be rolled out where necessary and will be completed in 2012.
