Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland of the persons from Londonderry city and county still detained in Long Kesh Prison, how many are members of the PIRA, the IRSP and the OIRA.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

All the eight persons from Londonderry city and the four from Londonderry county who are detained are believed to have belonged to, or had connections with, the Provisional IRA. Of these detainees from Londonderry county, one has since claimed to be associated with the IRSP and another with the Official IRA.
