Vol. 392 No. 8

Written Answers. - Prisons Visit Application.

76.

asked the Minister for Justice if his attention has been drawn to the request to his predecessor to allow a Workers' Party group to visit our prisons; and if he will agree to such a visit on an individual or all party basis.

The request in question was that The Workers' Party spokesperson on legal and prison affairs should be allowed to visit prisons to observe at first hand the work and conditions within them. I am of the view that it might be advantageous if a visit of the nature were to be arranged for a small group, to include representatives of all parties, and I hope this can be done in the near future.
