asked the Minister for Justice the steps that have been taken, where a direction has been given under subsection (3) or (5) of section 2 of the Prisons Act, 1972, to carry out the provision of a statement specifying the giving thereof and the names, the offences and, where appropriate, the sentences of the persons concerned shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be.

I do not know whether the Deputy is concerned about any particular case, but a check of the records has failed to find any instance where a prisoner has been transferred under the provisions referred to without statements being laid before each House.
