Jury watches CCTV footage
Garda Alan White said he found the car parked in the back of the car park at about 1.15am on October 4.
He said the car could be seen driving into a space at the back of the car park. After a few seconds someone could be seen getting out of the driver’s door and the hazard lights flashed twice.
He agreed with Mr Paddy McCarthy, defence counsel, that the quality of the footage was not good enough to see whether there were one or two people in the car or whether they were male or female.
Sebastian Danhel said he had worked as a delivery driver for Godfather’s Pizza situated near the Uluru Bar. He said on October 2 he saw a silver Mitsubishi Carisma parked in the car park between 5pm and 6pm.
He noticed the model, as he had bought a Carisma two days previously.
He noticed the car again at about 8pm. It had moved. This time he noticed somebody was in the car. He said he saw a man sitting in the driver’s seat and that the man appeared to be looking for something on the passenger seat.
He noticed the car again shortly after 10pm in a third position. This was the position the car remained in until it was found.
Owen Walsh, who returned to the stand for the third day said he had never been in Ms Walsh’s car. He had never driven her car or had anything whatsoever to do with her disappearance.
In previous evidence, Mr Walsh said that he had kissed Meg on the Saturday night after a night of drinking.
His wife, Carmel Walsh, said she had been away visiting relatives on the weekend of October 1.
Inspector Pádraig Dunne said he had been appointed family liaison officer for the O’Brien and Walsh families. On September 18 he went to meet the accused, who showed him a copy of the Munster Express with a story about the investigation. He asked if gardaí had copies of CCTV footage from the Uluru car park and if it would be possible to identify the driver of the car from this.
