Woman prisoner still on the run

There was no trace yesterday of the woman prisoner who escaped on Sunday morning after being moved from Mountjoy Prison to the Mater Hospital in Dublin. She was accompanied to the casualty section of the hospital by two prison officers, but disappeared shortly after arrival. A Department of Justice spokesman said that the woman was not considered dangerous. She had been serving a two-year sentence for larceny and was due for release in a year's time.
