Minister for Justice Simon Harris has responded after a GSOC officer resigned after being confronted over their alleged attendance at a party organised to celebrate the acquittal of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch for the Regency Hotel murder of David Byrne.
The Monk walked free from court last week after the three-judge Special Criminal Court found him not guilty of the murder in 2016.
Sources say a party was held at a property in Dublin on Monday to celebrate Hutch’s release from prison and was allegedly attended by close friends and family members of Hutch, who spent the past year and a half in Wheatfield Prison.
