Gerard Hutch has pleaded not guilty to the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel.

Image: RollingNews.ie THE SPECIAL CRIMINAL Court has heard murder accused Gerard ‘The Monk’ Hutch tell ex-Sinn Féin Councillor Jonathan Dowdall that Daniel Kinahan looked “in a fuckin heap” from photographs he had seen in a newspaper after the Regency Hotel attack.

Mr Hutch can also be heard saying: “There’s a present them three yokes” and that he wanted “to throw them up there to them as a present”. The accused also said he had to “push them” to get “them outta the village”. In another clip, the court heard Dowdall talking about the components for a bomb including a detonator. Dowdall can be heard saying: “you can get a det”, “the electrical pulse that goes into that makes a chemical reaction and that’s what sets it off” and “the det that goes into the plastic, so ya still need my mechanism”. Mr Hutch says “just a ball of bleedin putty”, “where you get that coil” and “what about the rubber stuff”.

Dowdall said, “they’re c***s, they’d give up their ma, they would.” He said it “can’t go on like this… ya can’t live your lives like this.”Mr Hutch then mentioned that “Clinchy”, an actor in Love/Hate had been “put in custody” prompting a conversation about celebrities including singers Adele and Imelda May, who Mr Hutch said he liked. “She’s mad as a bleedin’ brush,” said Dowdall.

Mr Hutch’s defence lawyer Brendan Grehan SC has submitted that their “core argument” would be that gardai were aware that Dowdall’s jeep was outside the jurisdiction for eight of the ten hours of those recordings from March 7, 2016 and that the evidence harvested from that “illicit fruit” should be excluded from the trial.

The State’s case is that Mr Hutch had asked Jonathan Dowdall to arrange a meeting with his provisional republican contacts to mediate or resolve the Hutch-Kinahan feud due to the threats against the accused’s family and friends. Mr Byrne, from Crumlin, was shot dead at the hotel in Whitehall, Dublin 9 after five men, three disguised as armed gardaí in tactical clothing and carrying AK-47 assault rifles, stormed the building during the attack, which was hosting a boxing weigh-in at the time.
