One of the men accused of assaulting Quinn Industrial Holdings director Kevin Lunney allegedly visited a garda station before making what the State argues was a "preparatory" journey to Cavan one day before Mr Lunney was abducted, the Special Criminal Court has heard.
The court heard evidence that gardaí tracked the man from Store Street garda station which led them to a Renault Kangoo van that the prosecution alleges was used to bring some of the accused men from Dublin to Cavan and back to Dublin on the day Mr Lunney was abducted and the previous day. Sean Guerin SC for the prosecution has said it is the State's case that the previous day's journey was for "preparatory purposes".
