This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

John Dundon’s appeal against his murder conviction was heard at the Court of Appeal on 22 April 2024, before three judges.

Dundon was convicted at the Special Criminal Court in 2013 of ordering the hit that killed Shane Geoghegan, and is serving a life sentence.

His counsel argued that a recorded conversation between witnesses could undermine their credibility, while the prosecution said it supported its case.

The judges reserved judgment on whether to admit the fresh evidence.
