Eamon Dillon

He was kind of left standing outside for most of the day.

He was handcuffed.

And this is in the old four courts building.

It's not in the criminal, it's the CCJ.

And when they were taking him back then, of course, to the prison van, he put his jacket over his head in case any pesky journalists like myself were trying to get photographs of him.

Yeah, but I suppose he never really, he got a chance.

I mean, when the, I suppose the height of the feuding in Limerick, he was in prison in the UK.

And when he did come back then, he picked up another sentence pretty quick involving, I think it was intimidation of a motorcyclist involved in an accident who was looking for compensation.

And then, of course, you know, he's out and then in 2015,

there's the attempt to kill Christy Keane.

His role in that was, I think, acquiring a car that was used.

So, like, he's back in again.

Like, his case, it was due to start in the special criminal court last year.

I was down for the start of that.

And it was an unexpected decision then to plead not guilty.

Sorry, to plead guilty after initially going to go through with a full case.

I mean, there was a hundred and...

There was 101, I think it was, witnesses that were ready to give evidence against him.

So it was going to be, you know, potentially a very long case.

So it saved a bit of time.
