Patrick McCann is one of the longest serving prisoners in Ireland. Noel, a retired prison officer, raised the issue on Liveline yesterday. Peter Pringle was convicted along with Patrick McCann but was released in 1995 having had his conviction overturned. He says that anyone serving that long in prison would suffer mentally. PJ McEvoy is former secretary general of the prison officers association. PJ agrees that services to help prisoners deal with their mental health issues need improvement.
