Seán Haughey
Ceist:208 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason a prisoner (details supplied) in Mountjoy jail who was scheduled to be released on 2 February 2000 was not released; the reason he was only told that day that he was not being released; if this was due to a computer error; if his attention has been drawn to the devastating effect this development had on the prisoner and his family; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
