Neighbour 'saw accused on New Year's Eve', court hears
A neighbour of a man charged with firearms offences has said he saw the accused in Ballyfermot on New Year’s Eve 1999, the same night that shots were heard near the Grand Canal in Co Kildare where two bodies were later recovered.
Mr Thomas Heneghan, who lives two doors away from the family home of the accused, Mr Mark Desmond, said he saw Mr Desmond on Lally Road with a group of people on New Year’s Eve.
