Government TD Eamon O Cuiv paid a personal visit to convicted torturer Jonathan Dowdall in prison, we can reveal.
Mr O Cuiv, 72, visited Dowdall in the final weeks of his eight-year sentence for falsely detaining a businessman and waterboarding him in his house, just months before gardai charged him over the Regency Hotel murder of David Byrne.
But speaking to the Mirror before this article went to print, he said he would never have visited him if he’d known about his involvement in the Regency Hotel attack.
