Prison officers hit back at Taoiseach's remarks on bra incident

Taoiseach Micheál Martin previously described the incident as 'quite shocking' and 'unacceptable'.

The Prison Officers' Association has hit out at the Taoiseach for publicly condemning a situation whereby a female solicitor was forced to remove her bra to gain entry to Cloverhill Prison.

New documents, obtained via a Freedom of Information request, show the Prison Officers' Association wrote to Micheál Martin’s office 10 days after the Taoiseach addressed the solicitor's ordeal in the Dáil chamber.
