State witness Jonathan Dowdall has insisted his suggestion to Gerry Hutch to kidnap a sister of David Byrne was “sh*te talk.”
In what is his sixth day being cross-examined by Hutch’s Defence Counsel Brendan Grehan SC, Dowdall became increasingly annoyed after being challenged about certain portions of the 10 hour secretly recorded tapes between him and the accused.
Hutch (59) is on trial before the non-jury Special Criminal Court over the murder of David Byrne in Dublin’s Regency Hotel on February 5, 2016 - a charge he denies.
