Gardaí had ‘no intelligence’ of shooting at boxing weigh-in

Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has said there was no intelligence to justify having gardaí outside the Regency Hotel on Friday.

This is despite the fact that, almost a week before the shooting, it had been reported that members of criminal gangs were in Dublin to attend boxing events.

David Byrne, 33, was shot dead after a group with AK-47s shot him at a boxing weigh-in event in the Regency Hotel in Dublin.
