Written Answers. - Strip-Searching of Women.

59.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will make representations to the British Government regarding the systematic strip-searching of two Irish women (details supplied) in the all male Brixton Prison; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The strip-searching of the two women referred to in the Deputy's question has been raised with the British authorities as have other aspects of their welfare. My Department will continue to monitor the welfare of the two women and will remain in regular contact with the British authorities to this end.
