This convicted armed robber today reveals he has given up a life of crime - and replaced it with one of rhymes.
Ian Maloney says he has reformed his life and is writing books of poetry to raise money for cash-strapped charities – instead of offending.
“My kids made me change my ways,” Ian Maloney told the Irish Mirror in an exclusive interview. “I want to turn my profile from infamous to famous. I know it won't happen overnight, but I believe everyone in life deserves a second chance.”
