Monk's bid to recoup Regency legal costs runs into scheduling difficulty

local summary5 related reports

Scheduling difficulties have delayed a bid by Gerard Hutch to recover his legal costs following his acquittal last month on a murder charge at the Special Criminal Court. Hutch was cleared of involvement in the fatal shooting of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in February 2016. The costs application, which the State opposes, was originally due for hearing this week but prosecutors indicated complications had emerged. Justice Tara Burns rescheduled the matter for June 7. Meanwhile, two men convicted of acting as getaway drivers during the attack—Paul Murphy and Jason Bonney—will be sentenced on Friday. Both were found guilty of participating in or contributing to Byrne's murder after a 52-day trial concluded last month.
