Dowdall is currently serving a four-year prison sentence for his role in facilitating the murder of David Byrne in Dublin’s Regency Hotel on February 5, 2016.However sources say if he is deemed suitable for the witness protection programme, it is possible that he may be granted temporary release from prison sooner than expected.

He insisted that Gerry Hutch “was the one who got the cards,” referring to the hotel key cards from the Regency that he says were handed to the accused the day before the attack. “I’m sorry for what happened to David Byrne and that family. And I’m sorry for what I said to offend that family. But I wasn’t involved in that murder,” he insisted.
