Callely gets job tending Wheatfield grounds

Ivor Callely will be out of 23-hour lock up as early as today and will be given a job tending the grounds at Wheatfield Prison, it has emerged.

The 56-year-old, who his solicitor said was “incredibly energetic”, and traumatised at being locked up for 23 hours, was able to go to the prison gym yesterday for a workout.

The Clontarf man is being accommodated in a special, secure area of the west Dublin prison, which also holds Daniel McDonnell and Keith Hall, who murdered Melanie McCarthy in February 2012.
