The Human Rights Committee’s sent a follow-up letter to Ireland on 4 Jan 2010.

It is now on the  Human Rights Committee website HERE.

You will see from the letter that the Committee is largely satisfied with the Government’s information on measures adopted to improve detention conditions and steps taken with a view to providing non-denominational primary education. However, the Committee has sought additional information from the Government:

[...] on how and how often terrorist acts have been investigated and prosecuted, including information on the length of pre-trial detention and access to a lawyer in practice, on the safeguards in place when relying on official assurances, as well as on the mandate of, and the work carried out by, the Cabinet Committee on Aspects of International Human Rights in relation to monitoring traffic through Irish airports.

No deadline has been specified for the forwarding of this information.
