Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Irish Prisoner in Britain.

48.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will make representations on humanitarian grounds to the Government of the UK on behalf of a prisoner (details supplied) who is in urgent need of proper medical attention.

(Cavan): The position of Irish prisoners in Britain is kept under constant review and, where appropriate, is discussed with the British authorities. The case of the particular prisoner to whom the Deputy refers was raised with the British authorities last month. As regards the medical aspects, we have been assured that the prisoner receives medical attention as and when required.

The remaining questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
