Witness identifies three men who ambushed car

A witness has identified three Longford men as having been part of a group of "40 lads" who ambushed his car and shot a family member as they drove to a wedding.

Hugh Nevin said he saw three of the five accused on trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court around his car, including Robert Hannafin (aged 33) of Dublin Road, in Longford town, who he claimed hit him twice with a "pick handle" causing him to require a plate in his face and pins in his skull.
