Vol. 465 No. 4
159 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice the current number of applications for parole from non aligned republican socialist prisoners in Portlaoise Prison, County Laois; the criteria applied for the granting of parole; and the outcome of the current applications. [9960/96]
The full restoration of the parole arrangements which existed immediately prior to the resumption of violence on 9 February last is something which will fall to be considered in the event of the cessation being restored. In the meantime, the position is that each parole application is considered on its merits.
