Gerard ‘The Monk’ Hutch’s murder trial at the Special Criminal Court was adjourned for a week at a hearing on 3 October 2022.

He is charged with murdering David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in Whitehall, Dublin, on 5 February 2016; the report said Hutch had not yet been arraigned.

The adjournment allowed the defence to consider additional evidence and outstanding disclosure. Hutch was remanded in custody until 10 October, and the report said the trial was unlikely to begin that day.
