Wife killer Joe O'Reilly moved jails after inmates threaten to 'cut him up'

Wife killer Joe O’Reilly was moved jails after inmates warned he would be “cut up” for “s**t stirring” and spreading lies between other prisoners, sources claim.

The evil 6ft 5in brute, who bludgeoned Rachel Callaly to death with a dumbbell at their home, was allegedly trying to cause tension and fights between other prisoners. He was also allegedly not co-operating with guards at Dublin’s Wheatfield Prison and was causing constant disruption.

Sources said he had wanted a move to the progression unit at Mountjoy or back to Arbour Hill where he used to be housed. However, jail bosses instead decided to move him to the B2 landing at the tough Midlands Prison in Portlaoise.
