My name is Joe's O'Callaghan.

People probably know me as Joe O'Callaghan.

Sitting in the house having the lunch and then the door bell went and I go to the front door

and I open the door and there is you've just standing there.

You see what's the story, you don't feel, what are you doing?

Why aren't you going school?

What are you doing here?

I was Brian Kenny he, to milk, man?

He was just a charm, like he was a real charm,

and he did look weird like, he dressed weird right away,

I thought like, Jesus Christ, But he was really nicely, soundly.

I said she couldn't have a job. And he said, he said, what age are?

I think I was 11 or 12 at the time. I told him and I said if you don't believe me

I can show you me be my birth tears. Something started laughing. He says, yeah, I see that I'm Friday, pick you up in Friday.

That's where I began. Talk was the best day in my life got a job in the mill crown. Boye, I wish it never happens.

Bory, I wish it never happens. Joseph Ocalleon was just 19 years old when he became the youngest person ever to enter the witness protection program in Ireland. His evidence solved a murder and his testimony condemned two men to life in prison.

That was in 2005. He's lived in hiding ever since. Now for the first time he's telling his own story in his own words.

How he was groomed into a life of crime, the sickening violence he witnessed, and his dramatic and courageous escape.

The Witness, in his own words, available May 24th, wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, You're going to.
