The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has asked his officials to find out why the IRA bomber Sean Kelly was returned to prison last week.
Kelly was convicted of the 1993 Shankill shop bombing that claimed 10 lives, but had been freed early under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.
Speaking to journalists this afternoon, Mr Ahern said it was either a mistake or there was substantial evidence against Mr Kelly.
