Question:

578. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on the circumstances of the detention last year of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8677/13]

Minister for Justice and Equality

The prisoner in question was detained on a committal order made by the High Court on 12 June 2012. In such circumstances, the Deputy will appreciate that it would be entirely inappropriate for me to comment on the case.
