DAD'S GUN GUARDS ..TO VISIT DOWDALL

STATE witness Jonathan Dowdall’s father is getting armed escorts down to visit his son in prison, the Irish Sunday Mirror has learned. 

Patrick Dowdall and other members of the family are being brought to Limerick Prison weekly to visit the former Sinn Fein Councillor.

Patrick Dowdall was released from prison last month after serving a sentence for assisting in the 2016 murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel.

A source said the high security escort – paid for with taxpayers’ money – has been provided several times in recent weeks.

The source said: “Jonathan Dowdall is in an area of Limerick Prison on his own now after his father was released last month.
