GSOC Investigation
Gardaí are investigating reports that an officer at the Garda Ombudsman attended a party with Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch last week.
The gathering was reportedly held last Monday (April 17th), the day Mr Hutch was acquitted of the 2016 Regency hotel murder of David Byrne in one of the first deadly attacks of the Hutch-Kinahan gangland feud.
Mr Hutch walked out the front door of the Criminal Courts of Justice after the 52-day trial at the non-jury Special Criminal Court.
On Monday evening (April 24th), Minister for Justice Simon Harris said he had received the report he requested from the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) chairperson regarding the issue.
