IRA breakout 'selfish' - Neeson

12.00.00am GMT Thu 11th Dec 1997

Alliance Party Chief Whip Alderman Sean Neeson has condemned last nights IRA break out from the Maze Prison as an act of selfishness, that is putting the privileges of other prisoners at risk.

Mr Neeson said:

"Is it the duty of Republican prisoners to behave in such a fashion that other prisoners whether Republican or Loyalist will undoubtedly face the consequences. I would appeal to the Republican Movement to hand over the escapee to the authorities so that others including prisoners families will not lose out."
