What you are about to hear is at times distressing and is not meant for younger ears.

 Joey O’Callaghan was just twelve years of age when he was groomed into a drugs gang in Ireland. A cold- blooded assassination then changed his life forever.   He broke the code of gangland secrecy and his evidence won murder convictions against two of Ireland's most violent drug bosses.  This led to joey being Ireland's youngest ever person in a witness protection programme at just 19. over 15 years have passed since then and Joey still lives in fear of his life.  To tell us all about her new book, author of ‘the witness” Nicola Tallant as well as the witness himself joey O’Callaghan.
