Prisoner probed after filming himself making sausage bap and watching GAA
A dopey prisoner is at the centre of an investigation – after he posted a video online of himself allegedly using cannabis and an illegal mobile phone behind bars. The man, who is facing serious charges connected to a serious criminal offence in Dublin, has now had his cell in the city's Mountjoy Prison searched after the bizarre video came to light. It is understood that a specialist search team raided the inmate's cell after prison bosses became aware of the video in recent days.
The inmate videoed himself enjoying the football in his cell
The inmate cannot be named as he is currently before the courts on charges that could see him jailed for life if he is convicted. The Dubliner posted the bizarre video on social media in recent days after filming it on a mobile phone. That's despite it being a criminal offence for a prisoner to use a mobile phone behind bars.
He posted the video of him enjoying a hand rolled cigarette behind bars
In the video the man films himself making a bacon and sausage bap on a grill - and tells his online audience "Work hard, stay humble". He pans the camera to a TV showing GAA and then to the door of his cell - which he opens to show a prison landing. He adds the subtitle "Mountjoy Prison, Dublin, Ireland" – and sources have confirmed the video shows a cell and landing of the historic jail.
The video also shows what appears to be cannabis in the cell
The video also shows what appears to be a large amount of suspected cannabis. And at one stage he films himself smoking a hand rolled cigarette while he and a cellmate watch a game in the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup competition, held in America. The inmate adds the subtitle 'Late Night Vibes' to that frame.

But he is now under investigation for the video, sources have confirmed. A spokesman for the Irish Prison Service declined to comment to us on Friday. He said: "The Irish Prison Service does not comment on matters relating to the operations or security of our prisons."
