McCabe case convicts qualify for release

IT is difficult to know where to start in terms of correcting the frequent, obvious and repeated errors in Paul O’Brien’s article on the Castlerea Four (Irish Examiner, May 12).

If Mr O’Brien read the Good Friday Agreement, and clearly he did not, he would know the men are qualifying prisoners.

If he had read the Supreme Court judgment in its entirety, instead of selectively quoting from it, he would have noticed that the court found that the men were qualifying prisoners, but that the Government was not legally obliged to release them under the agreement.
