Vol. 373 No. 6

Written Answers. - Temporary Release for Prisoner.

51.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will consider the request of the prisoner in Mountjoy women's prison (details supplied) in Dublin 7 who is now entering her 11th year in prison, has always been a model prisoner according to all prison authorities, has never received any concession whatever and now seeks temporary day time release to attend a university library so that she can further her studies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The offender in question is serving a life sentence for murder.

I am not prepared at this stage to authorise any form of temporary release for her.
