      Interesting story. Now I have something to talk to my new workmate Donathan Jowdall at the water cooler tomorrow. 

    2. Social media and online news must make Witness Protection much harder to implement. Cosmetic surgery would be the only safe way to do it.

      Presumably abroad, he’d be recognised eventually walking down the street of any town in Ireland.

    4. He joined witness protection but his family didn’t. What an ass. After the trouble he caused them, now he’s off and left them.

      Highly recommend the podcast mentioned in this article; „The Witness: In His Own Words“

    6. His daughter was a solicitor. Did she pack up and leave to?

      The paranoia and questioning of every human encounter would be hell. Then the day ye decide to trust and stop and ye get a mighty kick in the bollox.

      I’d love to know the long-term logistics of witness protection. He got to keep the sale of his house, and WP offers a life that he is accustomed to. Wonder what job he’ll walk into.

      I heard that he got a job with Catherine Connelly in the Aras. Recommended by a fellow TD, Mary something.

      A few years ago before he ever got media attention, he had parked his van outside my sister’s house blocking their car in the driveway. My brother in law asked him to move the van and he went nuts and threatened my BIL. BIL went to the guards with the van reg and all they said was something like „We know about him“

    9. Surely witness protection in Ireland means leaving the country? People are quite easy to find.

      I’m surprised that Ireland has a witness protection program. I assumed it would never work here.
