A 51-year-old man has been charged with murdering a man in Cloverhill Prison.
The victim, in his thirties, died following an "incident" at the jail on Saturday.
In the early hours of Saturday November 23rd, Gardai were called to an incident involving two men in Cloverhill Prison.
A man in his 30s was pronounced dead a short time later, while another man was arrested the following day.
This morning, 51-year-old Michael Connolly was charged with murder at Clondalkin Garda Station.
He has no fixed address, but is originally from Dundalk.
Cloverhill District Court heard that, when cautioned, the 51-year-old said ‘I won’t say anything, I’ll leave that to my solicitor."
Addressing the court, Mr. Connolly's solcitor said his client had suffered injuries and requested medical attention.
He was granted legal aid, and is due to appear before the court again on Tuesday, December 3rd.
