“Birds, booze and drugs found in prison”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “At least eight smuggled mobile phones, three Sim cards, about 150 tablets - including ecstasy, a significant quantity of powdered drugs, a large amount of homemade alcohol and 30 syringes were found.
A budgie which belonged to a long-term prisoner was also confiscated.
It is believed it had been smuggled into the prison by a female visitor who concealed the bird in her body.
A budgie was found in the cell of one prisoner
The search was sparked after armed robber John Daly telephoned a radio programme on state broadcaster RTE from an illegal mobile phone while in his cell last week.
His phone was seized by staff during the programme and the inmate has since been transferred to Cork Prison.
The search was ordered by governor Ned Whelan who drafted in all available staff for the search which began on the EI landing.
The landing houses some of the country’s most notorious prisoners, including John Gilligan, whose gang was responsible for the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin in June 1996.”
Regarding post no. 1331
Regarding my BBC prison article, that was a different prison, but you get the idea.
