Vol. 547 No. 1

Written Answers. - Prisoner Transfers.

Michael Ring

Question:

984 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding the repatriation of a person (details supplied) in the United Kingdom to serve the remainder of a prison sentence here. [2064/02]

I can inform the Deputy that an application is expected to be made to the High Court in the near future for a warrant authorising the transfer of the person concerned and his continued detention in this jurisdiction.

If the High Court issues the warrant, preparations for the transfer will be made and the actual transfer will occur shortly thereafter.
