Gerry “The Monk” Hutch told a former Sinn Fein councillor that he was one of the group that shot David Byrne dead at a hotel in Dublin, the Special Criminal Court has heard.
Hutch, 59, met Jonathan Dowdall in a car park in the days after the murder in February 2016, and told him “they” had carried out the murder of Mr Byrne at the Regency Hotel, said Sean Gillane SC, for the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
