O’Donoghue likely to serve time alone for own protection

Wayne O’Donoghue has been in custody there since a year ago last week, except during his trial last month.

The 21-year-old was moved to the Midlands Prison after spending just the first night after his initial remand from Midleton District Court, on January 17 last year, at Cork Prison.

While Cork Prison does have a secure unit for protected prisoners, the institution is overcrowded.
