Gardaí have plan to protect events marking Kinahan death

Gardaí are drafting a policing plan to protect family events marking the anniversary this Sunday of the murder of Kinahan cartel lieutenant David Byrne at the Regency Hotel.

Officers are trying to liaise with family members to find out what they have planned, and where, and who might be coming from abroad to attend.

Garda intelligence has suggested there is a threat from the Hutch grouping against the cartel, although it is not clear how the attack might be carried out.
