Political prisoner in Portaoise driven insane

national | miscellaneous | news report

Sunday March 23, 2003 01:09

by Tom McCurtain

INLA political prisoner Paddy O'Toole, held for a year in isolation in the punishment bunker of Portlaoise Prison has been driven insane and has been removed to the Dundrum facility for mentally insane prisoners. After a year of cruel and degrading treatment Justice Minister McDowell succeeded in driving him insane. There is concern now for another prisoner subject to the same cruel and degrading treatment in the punishment block. Eddie Heeney, a CIRA prisoner, is already in ill health. Where are our civil libertarians? Are they only concerned with civil liberties in far-off lands?
