Raymond Donovan, of New Houses, Cooraclare, had been in custody in Limerick Prison, since August 26. He has been moved
to Cloverhill prison in Dublin, following claims that he was subjected to threats in Limerick Prison.
A spokesman for the Prison Services confirmed the move was made during the past week. “‘It is not uncommon to move prisoners from time to time, for operational reasons. Our number one obliga- tion would be to hold prisoners in safe custody.”
Donovan made his fifth court
appearance, charged with inten- tionally or recklessly causing harm to Ms Walsh, last Friday week. It is alleged he was as- saulted in the courtroom, on that occasion.
The Prison Services spokes- man said the allegation of assault in the courtroom “would also be taken into account,” in his move to Cloverhill
Donovan is due in court again later this month.
