Devon Hennessy on hunger strike in Portlaoise Prison

Devon Hennessy, son of murder victim Jason Hennessy Snr, has begun a hunger strike in Portlaoise Prison. He is protesting against prison conditions while awaiting trial for allegedly kidnapping and torturing a man in Dublin. Hennessy is one of five individuals charged with serious offenses, including false imprisonment and causing serious harm. They were denied bail last week due to strong evidence against them. Jason Hennessy Snr was killed in a shooting at Browne’s Steakhouse in December 2023. Devon Hennessy and his co-accused face allegations of brutal treatment of the victim, including branding and physical assault.
