The Mirror has learned these prisoners are “Ireland’s most violent inmates” Ceyln Eadon, Cabra murderer Larry Murphy, jailhouse killer Brian Veale, violent attacker Brendan Cummins, armed burglar Evan O’Keefe, and Cork attacker Trevor O’Sullivan
The state spent €2.2million in the past 12 months to keep six dangerously violent criminals locked up behind bars.
She stated: “The people who are accommodated in the NVRU present some of the most complex and challenging within the prison estate. Dubliner Celyn Eadon, 31, who has a brain injury from excessive drug taking as a teenager, was readmitted to prison last year after launching an unprovoked attack on a support worker.
He is now in the unit with dangerous killer Brian Veale – who stabbed another inmate to death in a row over a television. Trevor O’Sullivan, meanwhile, who is in prison for assault, recently made headlines when he smashed his cell in a frenzy and ripped the toilet from the floor. The six men are allowed out to exercise for two hours every day so they are not in permanent solitary confinement.Minister McEntee said: “The total staff cost to operate the NVRU over the past 12 months was €2,203,109.15.
