Gardaí yet to quiz inmates after fatal stabbing

It could be several days before gardaí question an inmate about the fatal stabbing of another prisoner in Cork Prison at the weekend.

Gardaí continued gathering evidence yesterday as Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald said no level of violence can be tolerated in our prison system.

“We work all the time to make sure that what happens in our prisons ensures the safety of prison officers and prisoners,” she said.
