My thoughts are also with the Kelly family, given how distressing this incident must be for them. Minister, from your statement, it is very clear that there are questions for the Departmental Solicitor's Office about how communication with the Northern Ireland Prison Service was handled in this case. Will you confirm whether DSO sits under your Department?
