Pensioner Returned to Prison After Serving Sentence Because Electronic Tag Didn't Fit Her - January 3rd, 2025

Gaie Delap, a retired teacher in her seventies, with strong connections to Valentia, was ordered back to prison in the UK before Christmas because the authorities say they couldn’t fit her with an electronic tag.

However, they said the electronic tag was too large for wrist, and was told there was no alternative but to return to jail.

Ms Delap, who turns 78 on January 10th, was given a prison sentence after taking part in a Just Stop oil protest that blocked the M25 motorway in England.

Her brother, Mick Delap, spoke to Treasa Murphy.
