Daniel Kinahan To Be Held In Laois Prison

The cartel boss will be detained in A Block of Portlaoise Prison.

Daniel Kinahan will be kept in what's being described as a "prison within a prison" in Laois.

The Irish Examiner is reporting the cartel boss will be housed in A Block of Portlaoise Prison following his expected extradition from Dubai.

The Irish Prison Service is bracing itself for an increased security threat ahead of his arrival to Ireland, with the transportation of Kinahan being cited as the biggest danger.

It comes ahead of the Prison Officers Association's annual conference taking place this week in Kilkenny where the overcrowding crisis will be top of the agenda.

Today, Portlaoise Prison and Midlands Prison are operating at 136 and 127% of capacity respectively.
