Blaney’s request to raise prisoner-related questions
Blaney sought to raise questions concerning prisoners’ conditions and British withdrawal, including whether the Taoiseach had raised Irish prisoners’ treatment with the British Prime Minister. The Chair asked him to choose a subject; Blaney said any would do, and the Chair promised to communicate with him.
I wish to raise the subject matter of Question No. 3, Question No. 4 and Question No. 11 on the Order Paper for 22 November dealing with prisoners and their conditions in England and in Armagh prison. I wish to raise also the subject matter of Questions Nos. 1 and 2 dealing with British withdrawal addressed to the Taoiseach and also his concern expressed or not expressed to the Prime Minister, Mr. Callaghan, on the conditions of Irish prisoners in Britain.

Am I right in thinking that the Deputy has been trying to get those questions on the Adjournment for a long time but without much success?
