Murderer and gambling addict jailed for moving machine gun found by gardaí

A convicted murderer and a gambling addict have been jailed for their part in helping to move a submachine gun that was recovered during a garda operation three years ago.

Passing sentence today, Mr Justice Paul Burns said the court acknowledged that the involvement of both men had been to source the weapon for others and neither had any intention of using it. Mr Justice Burns noted that Redmond had had a difficult life and had suffered with addiction issues which he had taken steps to address.

The court heard Gray had married at 18 and had two young children. The defendant became addicted to gambling, the judge said, and borrowed from “unorthodox sources” to fund this. On the evening of March 7, the two vehicles pulled in on the main street in Clondalkin and certain people got out of the Hyundai including Redmond and Bernard Fogarty. The two men got back into the Hyundai and the convoy continued.
