McGovern was in the apartment on the day of the murder.

So suggesting then, you know, he was trying to suggest that he, you know, it wasn't, if somebody was using the laptop on the day of the murder, it wasn't Sean McGovern.

Yeah, and they wanted to kind of show that there was a lot of moving parts, I guess, in this plot.

And that, you know, despite what the guards were saying, you know, I mean, you know, it was the guard's view, and this was stated in court, it would be the view that the murder was planned and was directed directly by Sean McGovern.

But again, his counsellors are kind of asking them to confirm as well, like,

You know, there were occasions when the tracker was activated when there was no evidence to show that McGovern was anywhere near it at the time.

This is all the kind of the CCTV from the beacon and other places where they're able to show that, you know, certain things that happened on the phones and with the tracker was certain individuals in the right place at the right time to link them to that.

And the presiding judge, Patrick McGrath, he directly asked a question to the detective sergeant and he was saying, look, is there any other... He was basically saying, was there anything else to show McGovern's position in the gang hierarchy?

And he very much said, is there anything else?

And Sergeant Daly, you know, said it's for this particular matter regarding, you know, the murder of Noel Kirwan.

He says there was no evidence to suggest that he was directed by any other person on the date in question.

So, I mean, the guard's case is very much... Sean McGovern directed this.

Now...

But Bowman then is also then putting back, you know, to the guard, he's saying, the reality is that it was a shell, sorry, that it was a cell structure.

Yeah.

You know, each cell within the kind of working for the cartel didn't necessarily know what the other was doing.

And he said, it can't be established that McGovern was operating the tracker device on the actual date.

And he says, and you can't exclude that someone else wasn't communicating that to Sean McGovern, who was then passing it on, because they do have the evidence that he was passing on the information.

Yeah.

That's admitted.
