Statement by the Minister for Justice & Equality regarding homeless man in Mountjoy
When I became aware of this disturbing case I sought an urgent report from the Irish Prison Service and I expect to receive that today.
I have also spoken to the Governor of Mountjoy Prison.
I intend to discuss the case as a matter of urgency with my Cabinet colleague Simon Harris.
I am constrained in what I can say further as the matter is subject to Court proceedings.
