Lawyers fail in bid for access to taped telephone calls

Lawyers for the getaway driver in the murder of innocent businessman Roy Collins in 2009 have failed in their preliminary attempt to get further access to taped telephone calls prior to the full hearing of their client's appeal against conviction.

The Special Criminal Court found that Wayne Dundon (aged 37), of Lenihan Avenue, Prospect ordered the murder of Mr Collins from prison and Nathan Killeen (aged 26) of Hyde Road, Prospect, was the getaway driver for the gunman.
