Real IRA and INLA prisoners in joint protest
PARAMILITARY PRISONERS from the Real IRA and INLA joined forces to challenge staff at Portlaoise Prison in recent days in a dispute over the searching of cells at the jail.
Prison sources said the protest resulted in full chamber pots being thrown at staff, forcing the closure of a food preparation area. The same sources said the disturbance ended yesterday afternoon only after two INLA inmates were released from segregation.
