The man caught with the rifles used in the Regency Hotel shooting today breaks his silence - and claims he agreed to pay €30,000 for the weapons.
In the first part of our bombshell interview, convicted IRA member Shane Rowan spoke exclusively to this paper about his direct involvement in transporting the AK-47s used in the killing of David Byrne - as well as his dealings with Jonathan Dowdall and Patsy Hutch.
Rowan, 44, from Donegal, spent five and a half years in prison after he says he was “caught red handed” transporting the three rifles from the Malahide industrial estate in north Dublin, where he had earlier met with Patsy Hutch - on March 9, 2016.
