A lag “failed a drugs test” after allegedly launching an attack in which he elbowed and spat at a prison officer – days after being involved in a GAA event in Croke Park, the Irish Mirror can reveal.
And we have learned the prisoner was wearing GAA gear from the event when the incident occurred on the D3 West landing of Dublin’s Mountjoy jail at around 2.30pm last Friday. A football game took place between a side of inmates from Mountjoy and another team at Croke Park earlier last week.
The inmate who carried out the alleged attack was involved in the event. Sources revealed that, following the incident, he was tested for drugs and failed it.
