Criminal Alan Wilson jailed over role in plot to murder three men

Judge said the attack had left two of the three victims with lifelong injuries, including brain damage to one of them, leaving him forever reliant on the daily support of his family

Alan Wilson, 42, with a last address at New Street Gardens, Dublin 8, pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy to murder persons unknown on July 26, 2010, contrary to Section 71 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006. 

Alan Wilson, who was named in court as a member of the Kinahan crime gang, has been jailed for 10 years for his role in a plot to murder three men outside the Player's Lounge pub in 2010.

Ms Justice Tara Burns at the Special Criminal Court on Wednesday said Wilson, who has twice pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder, was involved in a "highly sophisticated, meticulously planned attack on a Sunday in July in front of a large group of civilians out socialising".
