Prison officer Noel McGree has had rats left on his doorstep, his home has been egged and his family’s physical and mental health has suffered since he blew the whistle on irregularities in prison procurement. Liz Dunphy reports.

Antoinette McGree anxiously rubs the same spot on her face until it bleeds as she recounts the horror her family has endured over the past eight years.
