Written answers

I am informed that a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances of this sad event by the Governor of Mountjoy Prison is nearing completion and he is expected to report to me in a matter of days.

I would also like to inform the Deputy that, in common with all deaths in prison custody, the gardaí are also conducting their own investigation into this incident. In addition, this death, as with all deaths in prison custody, may be subject to an inquest before a Coroner's Court.
