Former Sinn Fein councillor Jonathan Dowdall, who took to the stand for eight days as State's evidence in the trial of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch, has had his appeal against his jail term for facilitating the murder of Kinahan Cartel member David Byrne put back until after judgment in Mr Hutch's trial.
In December of last year, Dowdall launched his appeal against his four-year jail-term for facilitating the Hutch gang in the notorious murder of Byrne and had a hearing date for the appeal fixed for February 20.
Dowdall pleaded guilty at the Special Criminal Court to making a room available to the Hutch gang at the Regency Hotel, Swords Road, north Dublin, where the murder of Byrne (34) occurred in February 2016.
