Anti-Austerity Alliance TD Paul Murphy has been refused permission to visit one of the jailed water charge protestors in Wheatfield Prison.
The Sunday Times reports that Mr Murphy applied last Tuesday to be added to a panel of professional vistors approved for Damien O'Neill.

The request was turned down by the prison's Assistant Governor, Anne Marie McGuinness, who reminded Mr Murphy that TD's do not get professional visits.
Mr O'Neill of Greenwood Park in Coolock in Dublin was jailed with three other protestors for refusing to give an undertaking to remain at least 20 metres away from construction workers installing water meters.
