Many candidates in the ongoing general election campaign would give their eye teeth for the publicity surrounding one man hunting for a Dáil seat in the constituency of Dublin Central — Gerry Hutch, who recently arrived back in Ireland from Spain.

Hutch has long been associated with organised crime in this country and is linked to an ongoing feud between criminal gangs which has resulted in several deaths.
