64 Mr. McCartan asked the Minister for Justice if he has received the report into allegations of serious breaches of discipline on, and including, 5 April 1992 to 9 April 1992 at Limerick Prison; if so, when; the action, if any, he intends to take on foot of the recommendations therein; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

There was an investigation of alleged breaches of discipline in Limerick Prison on 5 April 1992. Arising from that investigation, disciplinary charges were brought against a number of prison officers. These charges are currently being processed and, accordingly, it would be inappropriate for me to make any further comment at this stage.
