Is the Minister aware of the problems in the isolation unit in the prison which is underground? According to local papers — the Nationalist and Leinster Times of 12 February 1988 — it is said that some prison staff who were on duty in that isolation unit, that has no ventilation, became ill because of a dirty protest having taken place in the prison?

I am afraid the Deputy wants to make an issue of this today by way of debate. We cannot debate this matter today. The Deputy must terminate his questions. I want to dissuade Members from thinking they can debate the matter now.

With respect, A Cheann Comhairle, I submit that the points I am making are totally within the ambit of the question.

I will decide that, Deputy.

Well, according to Standing Orders——

I will decide that.
