State witness Jonathan Dowdall has to be moved out of Limerick prison because he’s taking up too much space, we can reveal.
Sources have confirmed that Dowdall is currently alone on a landing that can house up to a dozen prisoners – in spite of a massive overcrowding crisis in the Irish prison system. That stark reality has forced prison bosses to make the decision to imminently move the high-risk Dowdall out of Limerick Prison, so that the landing can be fully filled with other prisoners.
However, moving Dowdall has not been an easy decision for authorities within the Irish Prison Service, who, it is understood, have had multiple discussions over the last number of days over how to handle the sensitive decision.
