A teacher alleging her career in the prison services was “destroyed” after a mobile phone was detected in her bra strap when passing through a security check at the Mountjoy Prison complex has told the High Court she never tried to smuggle anything into any jail she worked.

PROPERTY developer Owen O’Callaghan funded Fianna Fáil councillor Sean Gilbride when he took leave of absence from a teaching job to work full-time on the businessman’s Quarryvale project in west Dublin, it was alleged at the Mahon Tribunal yesterday.
