Jonathan Dowdall says Gerard Hutch was ‘lying’ about not knowing those involved in Regency Hotel attack

The Secret Teacher: ‘Sean made a disclosure to John in strictest confidence, leaving him with a real dilemma’

Dowdall had been a co-accused of Mr Hutch on the murder charge but that charge was dropped last October after Dowdall, as well as his father Patrick, pleaded guilty to a charge of facilitating the murder of Mr Byrne by booking a room in the hotel the evening before.Arising from his willingness to testify in the trial of Mr Hutch, the court has been told he continues to be assessed for the State’s Witness Security programme.

Dowdall has also told the court he was asked by Mr Hutch to help mediate the Hutch/Kinahan feud and was asked to speak to “dissident” republican people. The group he spoke to was the “New IRA”, he said. Members of David Byrne’s family, including his parents Sadie and James, were again in court. The packed attendance included many gardaí and journalists and members of the public who had queued outside court 17 to ensure a seat.

Asked about the exchanges on the March 7th 2016 recording, Dowdall said the words on the transcript attributed to him were correct. A lot of what he had said to Mr Hutch about was going on was based on what was in media reports at the time, he said.
