GARDAI were continuing their bunt for four of the five inmates who absconded from Loughan House, Co Cavan, on Saturday night.
Aged from 19 to 27, the inmates had recently been brought to the prison. Three of them were from Limerick and two from Galway.
One prisoner who hijacked a car was later recaptured at a Garda checkpoint at Redhills on the main Cavan Enniskillen road.
