A female prison officer who is at the centre of an alleged inappropriate relationship with a gangland criminal has resigned from her position, the Irish Independent can reveal.

The woman, understood to be in her 30s, “quit the job” before her bosses in the Irish Prison Service (IPS) got an opportunity to quiz her about the matter.
