Charlotte Mulhall’s High Court challenge over her transfer from Dublin’s Dóchas Centre to Limerick Prison was adjourned to next month, reported on 14 September 2020. She is seeking orders directing the Irish Prison Service and other respondents to return her to Dublin.

Mulhall disputes the prison service’s account of an alleged incident involving a prison officer and says she was not given an opportunity to address it. The application was brought against the Irish Prison Service, the Governor of Limerick Prison, the Minister for Justice and Equality, Ireland, and the Attorney General.
