Limerick gangster John Dundon fails to overturn conviction 16 years after Shane Geoghegan murder

Rugby player Shane Geoghegan was shot dead in 2008 in a case of mistaken identity

The Court of Appeal on Thursday rejected John Dundon's claims that evidence which 'fell through the cracks' could have called the credibility of witnesses into question.

Over 16 years after innocent rugby player Shane Geoghegan was shot dead in a case of mistaken identity, the notorious Limerick gangster who ordered the hit, John Dundon, has failed in a bid to overturn his murder conviction.

The Court of Appeal on Thursday rejected Dundon's claims that evidence which "fell through the cracks" could have called the credibility of witnesses into question.
