Former prisoner sues State over boiling water and bleach attack
Gary Breen, 31, of Hillview Grove, Ballinteer, Co Dublin, who was serving a 12-month sentence for escaping from custody, told the court that he had to receive a number of skin grafts as a result of the incident. He was released in 2004.
The action is being taken against the governor of Wheatfield Prison and the State, who deny they deliberately and consciously allowed the inmate concerned to attack Breen.
