Ahern rejects claims of killers controlling jail

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today denied opposition claims that the killers of Detective Garda Jerrry McCabe controlled a prison where they are serving their sentences.

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny used a Dáil question to ask if it was true that the four IRA men convicted of the 1996 killing of Garda McCabe had a veto on being integrated with other prisoners in Castlerea Prison.
