Footage emerges of John Gilligan partying in Portlaoise prison

Exclusive footage of former drug lord John Gilligan making the most of his time spent in Portlaoise prison has been uncovered by TV3 documentary ‘Paul Williams: State of Fear’.

The footage, which dates back to before 2006, shows Gilligan laughing, joking and dancing alongside some of Ireland’s most dangerous criminals, including killer John Daly, who was in prison for armed robbery and who famously phoned RTÉs radio show ‘Liveline’ from a mobile phone in his prison cell.
