A convicted killer has been sanctioned by prison authorities after a phone was discovered in his cell - following a social media 'selfie.'
The Mirror has learned that Dean Kerrie (21), who is serving a three and a half year prison sentence for stabbing and killing Jack Power in Dunmore East, Co Waterford in 2018, was caught with the phone in the last number of weeks.
Sources confirmed that Kerrie was issued with a P19 sanction for possession of the phone -after this photo appeared on social media featuring him and a number of other prisoners posing for a selfie inside a cell in Dublin’s Wheatfield Prison.
