Enda Kenny
Question:208 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will grant a Christmas release to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27229/99]
Written Answers. - Prison Releases.
The person referred to by the Deputy is serving a sentence of three years for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and a six month sentence for assault. He is due for release with remission on 5 February 2001.
I am not in a position to authorise temporary release for this person at present due to the nature of the offence and the length of sentence yet to serve. His case will, however, be kept under review.
