    The convicted drug dealer John Gilligan has been released from prison this morning having spent almost 17 years in jail, most of it serving a 20-year term for drugs.
    The 61-year-old originally from Ballyfermot, Dublin, left maximum security Portlaoise Prison at 9.35am.
    He walked through large wooden doors at the jail to a waiting silver Ford Mondeo parked just yards away driven by two associates.
    The vehicle had been permitted by the prison authorities to drive onto the prison campus through the main vehicle entrance for the purposes of parking right beside the wooden door where Gilligan walked out.
    It meant Gilligan could get into the car while still on the prison campus and did not need to walk past the media waiting outside the main gates onto the public road.

    He says he had nothing to do with the Veronica Guerin murder. Vincent Browne last night on tv3 said he had an idea of what criminal was actually responsible for it and that it probably wasn't Gilligan but he wouldn't go on to name anyone about it.

    Thoughts?

    Great to see his big smiley face, just thinking of his next batch of gangland murders

    Another factor for King Nidge to worry about now.

    He probably won't last too long if he tries to pick up where he left off.

    What the hell is Vincent Brown going on about now.
    Sounds like a bit of a publicity stunt on his behave.

    There's enough of them out there keeping themselves busy shooting other scumbags, leave them off I say, as long as they keep shooting each other and not anyone decent, they're doing their bit for the community. Think the likes of Gilligan is well and truely finished, he's a scumbag not a national hero, people are only glorifying him standing outside the prison waiting for him to be released

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but was Shane Geoghegan not killed by a gang member, albeit by mistake? It's hardly ideal to just 'leave them off'...


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    He reminds me of Bertie Ahern.

    Who's going to believe a word that comes out of his mouth. What really is the point in asking him questions like this?


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    How long before a little nidge does a number on him ,

    Hopefully we won't have to wait too long


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    He wont recognise the place


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,039 ✭✭✭force eleven


    If this was America, he'd still be breaking rocks 'bout now...

    He's going to be watched by the media for quite a while, which I reckon it'll make it somewhat difficult for him to do much of anything.

    Has he been totally stripped of his ill gotten assets? I know they took Jessbrook, but did they loot his accounts too?

    because there's been such a paucity of gangland murders with gilligan banged up?


    17 years is a long stretch, can't really complain about him being released regardless of his behaviour

    You don't see it :eek:
    I'm not saying they're twins but there's definitely a resemblance. Even their mannerisms are similar.
