O'Reilly lands job behind bars... sorting the bins. Wife-killer has keen interest in Dwyer's appeal

- PAUL HEALY

WIFE killer Joe O'Reilly now works as a binman and has expressed a keen interest in murderer Graham Dwyer's appeal behind bars.

O'Reilly, 50, who battered his wife Rachel to death in October 2004, is working in waste management inside the Midlands Prison in Co Laois.

And sources say the killer, who was initially temporarily moved to the Midlands following his behaviour in Wheatfield Prison earlier this year, is now set to stay there for the foreseeable future.

"There are no plans to move O'Reilly back to Wheatfield," a source said.

"He's working in waste management there now and has settled there.

It is understood that as part of his duties, O'Reilly clears out bins across the prison system and is involved in composting and other manual labour jobs across the building.

Meanwhile sources say O'Reilly has become obsessed with murderer Graham Dwyer's upcoming appeal.
