Murderer asks to be jailed in Ireland
Monday 10th October 2005, 12:00AM BST.
MURDERER Paul Greenan has applied to spend his sentence of at least 20 years in Belfast.
If he can show he has links with Northern Ireland and will be visited there, it is unlikely that the Jersey taxpayer will foot the bill for his imprisonment.
No matter where he serves his time, Greenan will not be eligible for parole until he has been behind bars for 20 years, when he will be 38 years old.
Prisoners who get transferred to other British jails can cost the Island more than £35,000 a year.
The 19-year-old was sentenced to life on Friday for the brutal murder of nursery nurse Tracy Burns in Paris Lane on 14 March 2004.
