But the caged former property tycoon, who stole €18million from the banks during the Celtic Tiger boom before going on the run to Brazil, was brought back inside in case the public recognised him.

He was one of a number of inmates granted temporary release every day so they can go outside and keep the front of the north inner city Dublin complex spotless.

Technically, they are outside but they stay within the confines of the prison estate.

The Co Mayo-born lawyer ­featured in the RTE smash-hit documentary The Fugitive.One prison source said: “I would not be a bit surprised if he is out of here by early next year.”

His wife Brid, a former nurse, has stood by him and visits Lynn in prison on a weekly basis.

Prison sources say he has been talking about returning to Brazil where he was involved in the property business and lived in a luxurious house before he was arrested on a extradition warrant from the Gardai in 2013.

Lynn was held in a violent jail while he fought the attempt to extradite him.
