Ombudsman clashes with Justice Department chief over comments
In a highly unusual clash between senior state officers, Emily Logan said she was “very dismayed” at comments to the United Nations by the secretary general of the Department of Justice, Sean Aylward, accusing him of “misrepresentation”.
She said Mr Aylward had told the UN Committee Against Torture that her report on young people in St Patrick’s Institution had identified differences between the “perception” of the inmates and the “reality” in the young offenders’ prison.
