The person to whom the Deputy refers is in protective custody at Mountjoy Prison at his own request and refuses to associate with other prisoners. As an exceptional measure, and as part of ongoing efforts to assist this particular individual and alleviate his personal fears in relation to visits, arrangements were made for this prisoner to receive visits when there are no other visits taking place. These arrangements have been in place for a number of weeks at this stage.
