"Sean McGovern, the alleged Kinahan gangster, has been placed on a 'complete isolation' regime at Portlaoise Prison, where he is effectively held in solitary confinement."
"The Special Criminal Court's remand order reflects McGovern's status as being under a 'number one level of threat', indicating significant risks to his safety compared to other inmates."
Sean McGovern, a 39-year-old alleged member of the Kinahan gang, has been confined to a solitary cell in Portlaoise Prison for 23 hours a day. His isolation regime is classified as 'complete', meaning he cannot interact with other inmates. This extreme measure follows his remand by the Special Criminal Court due to his designation as a 'number one level of threat' within the Irish prison system, leading to constant supervision by prison staff.
