The Northern Ireland Prison Service has said it is dealing with an "ongoing incident" at Maghaberry Prison in County Antrim.

It is understood the incident is at Roe House, a building on the prison estate where dissident republican prisoners are held separately from other inmates.
A Prison Service spokeswoman said staff were trying to resolve the incident but would not comment further.
Monday's prison visits have not been affected by the situation.
Maghaberry Prison is Northern Ireland's only high-security jail.
It houses men who have been convicted of serious offences as well as remand prisoners awaiting trial.
The inmates are held in both separated and integrated conditions.
