Callely faces sharing a cell at Wheatfield prison

Ivor Callely is on his way to a prison in west Dublin and could end up in a double cell — sharing a toilet and living space with another inmate.

The Clontarf’s man move to Wheatfield Prison took observers by surprise, as he was tipped to either stay in Mountjoy or be transferred to the training unit or possibly Midlands Prison.

Prisoner 92995 was due to be taken from Mountjoy to Wheatfield yesterday evening, but the logistics were difficult to arrange and he was expected to stay in the committal unit overnight and be brought to the Ballyfermot jail this morning.
