Furious prison officers are refusing to cooperate with a new RTE documentary by Dublin GAA star Philly McMahon at Mountjoy prison.
They are angry with the way they are being portrayed during filming and have pulled out of a proposed Gaelic football game between prisoners and wardens at Croke Park. Relations became so bad, the Mountjoy branch of the Irish Prison Officers Association issued a directive for all members not to have anything to do with the project.
It stated: “Owing to recent events surrounding the RTE documentary film crew taking place we the Mountjoy Branch is hereby issuing a directive to all members to not engage with the RTE documentary currently underway, this includes all volunteering to take part in said documentary and the scheduled football match.“
