THE GOVERNMENT will face questioning by the UN’s Committee Against Torture in Geneva today and tomorrow on its record on the rights of those detained by the State.
This is the first time Ireland has been asked about its record as part of the monitoring process carried out by the UN committee.
The Government will be asked about conditions in prisons, the treatment of asylum seekers and of the women who were sent to work in the Magdalene laundries.
Last Friday the committee was briefed privately by the Irish Human Rights Commission and by a group of human rights NGOs.
