Murderer to receive cosmetic surgery

ONE of the country’s most infamous criminals had cosmetic surgery carried out on a scar on his lip at the expense of the state while in prison.

It is believed the surgery was carried out because the man claimed that he was suffering from “low self-esteem” due to the appearance of the scar on his mouth.

The state is thought to be out of pocket to the tune of thousands of euro to provide the public health service treatment for man, who is in his early 30s.
