Pat O'Connell

Yeah, and he's also somebody that when he gets out of prison this week is going to have access to quite a lot of cash because in 2018, he actually received a payout over an accident, over a car accident that occurred outside Trinity when a taxi driver collided with his car.

Okay.

His name couldn't be reported in connection with the compensation payment at the time because he was before the courts for rape.

But once he pleaded guilty, his name did come out.

It was a circuit court case, you know, which the maximum payout in the circuit court is 60,000 euros.

Was it settled?

The case was settled before it went to that.

And we don't know how much it was settled for, but

Yeah.

You know, you could guess.

Yeah, those, like, you know, the most recent figure that I know for that was $2.35 a day.

And that's like paid as a gratuity because, you know, trustee prisoners, they don't receive additional monies.

What they do receive is additional privileges behind bars, you know, increased access to visit areas, to telephone calls, you know.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think you have a certain amount of time once you leave prison to supply Gardaí with the address, especially in light of if you move.

But in the case of somebody like Patrick Nevin,

you would assume that they will be asking for that address in advance of him getting out of prison and also trying to see what sort of support network is there for him in the hopes that he won't offend again.

I think there is some sort of level of wake up when it comes to things like that.
