Ex-INLA man bids to move jail cell
FORMER INLA leader Declan Duffy is to take legal action in a bid to be moved from a segregation cell in Portlaoise Prison where he is serving a four-year sentence.
Duffy, originally from Armagh city, was sentenced at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin last week after pleading guilty to membership of the INLA.
During a previous hearing he turned his back on the group, saying he would ask for a move to the non-aligned republican wing of Portlaoise.
Speaking yesterday a relative confirmed the 35-year-old was pursuing legal action to force the prison service to move him.
Along with Anthony Gorman, Duffy is facing extradition to Britain.
He was arrested while in custody on a European arrest warrant for shooting British army recruiting sergeant Michael Newman in Derby in 1992.
