I am aware of the case to which the Deputy refers. I understand the prisoner in question has initiated legal proceedings with a view to obtaining early release. As the matter is before the courts, it would not be appropriate for me to comment any further at this stage other than to confirm that officials from my Department continue to monitor developments closely.
