Under cross-examination, Mr Hanrahan agreed with Brendan Grehan SC, for Mr Hutch, that he and been attached to the SDU for most of his career and that it mainly dealt with terrorism. The witness said there was information relating to firearms and explosives being transported to the north from members of the IRA.

Mr Grehan asked Mr Hanrahan if he was aware that there was a tracker device fitted on Dowdall’s Land Cruiser and the witness said he was.
