A man has died after he was viciously attacked at a Dublin prison.
Robert O'Connor, 34, who was an inmate at Mountjoy Prison, was rushed to ICU following the assault on Friday evening. He was put on life support in the Mater Hospital after sustaining serious head injuries.
He died following the attack which was carried out by a group of prisoners. O’Connor had only been jailed two days before the attack. He had been sentenced to six-and-a-half years after admitting to the possession of a semi-automatic pistol in Finglas last October.
