Gilligan tells Court prison officer verbally abused him
Convicted drugs dealer John Gilligan told the Special Criminal Court today that a prison officer verbally abused him and told him: "I hope you do every day of 28 years'' after a row over the opening of prison tuck shop.
Gilligan's account was backed up in evidence by Brian Meehan, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin in 1996.
