Wife killer Joe O'Reilly selling sweets in prison tuck shop

Wife killer Joe O’Reilly is now selling sweets and chocolate to the likes of murderer Graham Dwyer in a prison tuck shop.

The 50-year-old is supplying confectionery to lags such as fellow murderers Graham Dwyer and Mark Nash in the Midlands Prison. O’Reilly, who bludgeoned his wife Rachel to death at their home in Naul, North Co Dublin in 2004, had previously worked in waste management inside.

Prisoners receive pocket money of up to €2.20 a day and can earn an additional €3.50 per week in jobs under the Approved Working Gratuity Scheme. There is one tuck shop in the prison and O’Reilly fulfils orders from inmates.
