Prison officers face discipline

Four prison officers face internal disciplinary charges for appearing on the BBC's Spotlight programme earlier this month.

The programme investigated events at the former women's prison at Maghaberry in County Antrim.

It looked at allegations of human rights abuses and inappropriate relationships between a number of prison officers and some inmates.

The four officers have been accused of a breach of confidentiality for appearing on the programme without the secretary of state's permission.

They have also been accused of divulging information gained while carrying out their official duties.
