Border Fox could gain permanent release from prison

THE Border Fox Dessie O’Hare, serving 40 years for kidnapping, could be released from prison permanently within months.

A release programme has been mapped out by the Parole Board but the final decision lies with the Justice Minister Michael McDowell.

O’Hare, granted temporarily release regularly since late 2003, was released from Castlerea Prison earlier this week and is due to return later this weekend.
