Gilligan: 'I've no money'

The State's attempt to confiscate the assets of convicted drug dealer John Gilligan rests on the evidence of Assistant Garda Commissioner, Tony Hickey, the Special Criminal Court heard today. Mr Gilligan briefly interrupted the proceedings from the dock to tell the court he has "no money".

Prosecution counsel said the evidence of protected witnesses, Charles Bowden and Russell Warren, who are outside the jurisdiction and unavailable to give evidence, was very much "secondary evidence".
