The judge said the court was satisfied that Glynn received instructions from those further up in the organisation and passed them on while also providing “considerable input in the movement of stock”.
Glynn last of Fitzgibbon Court, Dublin 1, pleaded guilty last week at the three-judge court to conspiracy to commit a serious offence, namely the possession of 335 rounds of ammunition, contrary to Section 71 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2006. Glynn is serving a six-and-a-half year jail sentence imposed in February 2022 for his involvement in the foiled plot to murder Gately, during which he placed a tracker device on the rival Hutch member’s car.
Mr Justice Hunt said Glynn was a director on the frontline and conduit for communications for the gang about whom he was “fully equipped” in terms of knowledge of their operation and intent. Det Sgt O’Leary said different types of ammunition discovered were suitable for use in Colt, Glock and Walther handguns.
Mr McGinn quoted a text message saying “eight green but not one with cartoon stickers” which Det Sgt O’Leary said referred to eight kilos of cannabis herb. A phone number saved as ‘E’ was identified as Fogarty, said the detective. The detective told Mr McGinn that a message from Anthony Glynn to Douglas Glynn described Fogarty as ringing in a panic about the size of the boxes which could not be moved by a single person. Det Sgt O’Leary said the description of the large boxes containing the drugs matched what was discovered at the search.
Mr Justice Tony Hunt asked Ms Lawlor if it was her case that Glynn was a type of “factotum warehouse manager” and was told “yes”. Counsel said her client did not waste the resources of the court or gardaí and did not choose to “roll the dice” by entering a not-guilty plea.
