553. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when an application by a prisoner (details supplied) for transfer to Northern Ireland will be approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55344/13]
View answerI have been informed by the Director General of the Irish Prison Service that the application is currently being considered by the Northern Irish Prison Service Authorities (NIPS). I am to inform the Deputy that this application cannot progress any further until such time as the decision of NIPS is received by my officials.
