SOME OF the country’s most notorious killers enjoyed a Halloween ‘lifers party’ in Mountjoy prison, just hours after a prison officer was brutally attacked outside his home.

A list of 16 killers who attended the celebration in the auditorium of the education area included gangland assassins, a thug who killed both his parents and an IRA killer.
 
A top secret list obtained by the Sunday World of the inmates who attended Sunday’s party included:
 
  • Hitman Barry Doyle, who shot dead Limerick rugby player Shane Geoghegan in a case of mistaken identity in Limerick on November 9, 2008.

  • Gangland killer Jonathan ‘Yuka’ Douglas from O’Devaney Gardens in Dublin’s north inner city, who was convicted of the murder of Aidan Byrne (31) at Drumalee Avenue in Dublin on February 20, 2010.

  • Tallaght man Liam Bolger, who is serving life for acting as the getaway driver in the murder of Christopher Barry (25), on September 13, 2008.

  • Warren Graham, who was found guilty of murdering Paul Keegan (42) in a laneway behind Cherryfield Road during hoax drugs deal in Walkinstown in December 2007. 

The party on Sunday afternoon occurred just hours after an officer from Wheatfield prison was left injured and shaken in a targeted attack outside his Finglas home.
 
Jim Mitchell of the Prison Officers Association revealed that cars in the driveway of the officer’s home were burnt and when the prison officer went out to remonstrate with those outside he was set upon.
 
Mr Mitchell said the attack happened because the injured party was a prison officer and said the man is now concerned for his safety.
 
Others who enjoyed the festivities at Sunday’s party in Mountjoy include:
 
  • IRA man Robert Duffy, who pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Colin O’Neill by shooting him in the face at the Emerald Bar, Dundalk, in March of 2007. Duffy was previously sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for murdering John Gibson, who he shot down in the driveway of his home in Belfast, but was released under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement;
  • Thomas Hinchon, from Clondalkin, who is serving life for the murder of Jonathan O’Reilly. He was shot dead as he sat in a BMW car outside Cloverhill Prison on April 17, 2004;
  • Andrew Gibney, of Drumheath Avenue, Mulhuddart, who was sentenced to life for the murder of Gerard Burnett. He suffered 30 stab wounds after he was attacked by a group of men outside his girlfriend’s house in Mulhuddart on August 21, 2012.
  • Cavan man Trevor McCabe, who was found guilty of the murder of 33-year-old father of one Darren McGrath (33), who was shot dead as he slept in his bed beside his fiancé in Belturbet, on May 20, 2008.
  • Matthew O’Donnell who was repatriated from Maghaberry Prison in Northern Ireland in 2014 and who is serving life for the killing 30-year-old Noel Williamson in Caledon in October 2004;
  • Finglas man David Cully who shot dead his uncle Edward O’Connor at Ballycoolin Road, Finglas West on December 15, 2013.
  • John Francis Dolan, who was jailed for life for killing his 56-year old mother, Gertrude, and his 71-year-old father, John, at the family home in East Wall in June 1999.
  • Craig White, of O’Devaney Gardens in north inner city Dublin, who killed 27-year-old Noel Roche in a gangland assassination on Clontarf Road on November 15th, 2005;
  • Drimnagh killer Marcus Kirwan who lured victim David Byrne to his death by pretended to be a girl when he sent text messages to David suggesting they meet on the night of Mar 19, 2011.
None of those who attended the party in Mountjoy are connected to the attack on the prison officer which occurred the previous evening.
