‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Return to N.I. of Irish Prisoners. Transfer notices and conference agenda
Summary
Gallagher asked for families to be notified when prisoners were moved and for transfers to Northern Ireland to be discussed at an early conference meeting. Barry cited security reasons against advance notification and said the conference agenda was set out in the Hillsborough communique.
Would the Minister pursue his representations to ensure that relatives in Ireland would be informed when Irish prisoners are being transferred? Would he give an assurance to the House that the transfer of Northern Irish prisoners to Northern Ireland would be placed on one of the first agenda for meetings of the conference under the new agreement?
