Top prison sniffer dog gets extra security

SPECIAL security measures have been put in place for Rocky the sniffer dog who has angered criminals in Limerick Jail by cutting off their drugs supplies.

Rocky took up duty in the prison two weeks ago and since then has been responsible for “sniffing” out more than 50 drugs deals in the visiting area destined for prisoners.

Agitated prisoners thrashed their cells last Thursday night to vent their anger at not being able to get in drugs.
