I am advised by the Irish Prison Service that the inquest into the death of the person referred to is ongoing. The decision as to the cause of death is a matter for the Coroner.

The Irish Prison Service has confirmed that it is fully considering the findings and recommendation of the Inspector of Prisons in his Report into this matter, and it will ensure that all appropriate action is taken.
