A former Sinn Féin councillor has admitted he previously lied to the Special Criminal Court but denied he is telling lies about Gerard Hutch's alleged involvement in the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel almost eight years ago

Jonathan Dowdall is giving evidence against his former co-accused for a second day and is now being crossed examined by Mr Hutch’s defence counsel Brendan Grehan.

He described as"nonsense" a suggestion that it was Patsy Hutch, not Gerard Hutch, who arrived and that he would incriminate Gerard Hutch."It’s the truth, it was Gerard who showed up," he said,"if it was Patsy who showed up I would have said it was Patsy. When asked by defence counsel why he was not jumping up and down to give this evidence he replied:"Who would be jumping up and down to go through this?"

"There was questions that needed to be answered," he said,"I couldn’t explain that sitting in this court in the dock."Dowdall also said today that it was not true to say that he only wanted to speak to the gardaí after he had been charged with murder "I wasn’t involved in crime. I wasn’t involved in the Regency hotel murder. My home was searched to do with the Regency hotel. If I had a rational mind I would never have gone on to Joe Duffy. I wasn’t myself when I went on to Joe Duffy," he added.He also said he was not told the truth about the Hutch-Kinahan feud, all he was told was the Hutch's"side of events and why Gary was killed".

Can you apply the same logic when future referencing Leo as the “former leak “and Michael Martin as the former “minister who bankrupted the country “ just to keep a balanced neutral opinion as an independent media outlet 👍

He has a memory like a supergrass, he can remember things that never happened at all 🤦‍♂️
