Limerick Prison

... that it's a different s- issue, but he will have a lot of freedom compared to where he is now.

He's currently in, as far as we're still aware, still in Limerick Prison-

Yeah

... where there is...

cute.

Oh, and then the fella who messaged me about being in Limerick Prison and doing the tunnelling and all that, well, checking if you could tunnelling and all, he said, I forgot to mention, they caught the escaped prisoner five minutes later.

And then...

Joe McCauley said, the last execution in Limerick was only 100 years ago.

Charlotte has spent more than 20 years inside.

She served the early part of it at the women's prison in Dublin, then was moved to Limerick Prison in December 2018.

But here's the catch.

In Ireland, a life term looks different than other places.

They're stretched.

You have days where the video link doesn't work between Limerick courthouse and Limerick Prison, so therefore, those technical issues happen.

Those cases have to be adjourned.

Uh, IT issues go wrong.

The trial produced one more unsettling, unresolved detail.

After Ide's arrest, Gardie recovered a quantity of ricin from his cell at Limerick Prison.

How it got there was never fully explained, not a trial, and not since.

That detail never quite squared with the story of a small-time chancer running a scare, Was it kept as leverage in case the extortion fell apart and he needed something to threaten with? Why would he even have it if he wasn't a hitman? Or was it simply an over-elaborative prop meant to make Tony Luciano look convincingly dangerous to whoever crossed him? Nobody, not the Gardaí, not the courts, ever settled the question.

I don't know what the fuck it is, so here we go.

Well, lad, what's the crack? Come here, I'm just listening to the podcast here, and I've been listening to the bit where your man was on about Wicklow, or not fucking Wicklow Jail, Limerick Prison, and the executions in it.

I heard a story years ago, right, about Wicklow Jail, and that the reason the executions stopped in Wicklow Jail was to do with the fishermen.

They were objecting because the bodies were being disposed of in the sea, and And now this bit could be, that bit's true, but this bit could be a rumour or like a fucking fictional story to add on to it.

No.

There, there has been, like there was certainly recently a, a wing, uh, built or opened in, in Limerick Prison, uh, for women.

But again, y- we heard recently about how Limerick Prison is particularly overcrowded.

So yeah, like, you know, the, the more you build, the quicker, you know, it's a-

Yeah

And I was saying, what about sneaking a PlayStation into the prison in between your ditties and all? And they were like, oh, I can't help you and blah, blah, blah.

And then I was asking about tunneling out of Limerick Prison, I think, and stuff like that.

So that's what this is in reference to.

So it sounds very interesting.

Strap yourselves in because it's four and a half minutes long.

You're well.

Um, I'm, uh, I'm currently still catching up on your episodes and episode 30 there when you mentioned about, um, Shawshank Redemption and tunneling out of the prison and then tunneling out of Limerick prison.

That made me think about the time we, I was working as a concrete cutting and core driller and they were building the extension at the time above there.
