“It’s been a long day of CCTV” admitted Ms Justice Tara Burns, sitting alongside her fellow judges Ms Justice Sarah Berkeley and Ms Justice Grainne Malone at the close of Tuesday’s evidence. 

Throughout the trial of Gerry Hutch, accused of the murder of David Byrne in the Regency Hotel in February 2016, there has been a lot of CCTV footage shown to the court and, as Justice Burns said, Tuesday involved a whole lot more.
