State witness Jonathan Dowdall's claims of the meet cannot be backed up by the phone data at all
There is “nothing to suggest” that Jonathan Dowdall was in a park at the time he said Gerry Hutch confessed to him there, the Special Criminal Court has heard.
READ MORE:Phone analysis expert tells Regency trial there was 'no clear opportunity' for Dowdall to have met Hutch in park The expert analyst, who worked with gardai on this case, did however state that her analysis would not have covered any potential contact made on internet-based applications. Ms Sked agreed with Mr Grehan and had earlier said that on the basis of the records of that day there was “no clear opportunity” for Dowdall to meet Hutch in the park in Whitehall.
On Friday the court heard that it didn’t ping again until 3:16pm - at the mast in Whitehall - which led Mr Grehan to ask the witness why that would be the case. He further asserted that it was not possible for Dowdall to stop off in the park and meet with Hutch during this time - and that he must have been simply traveling by car past the mast in Collins Avenue when his phone pinged off it.Ms Skedd agreed that it does "from 15:16 onwards,” but argued that Dowdall could theoretically have been in the park at a time before that.
She told the court that on the basis of Garda NSU observations that day, an individual placed the suspected AK47 rifles used in the Regency into the boot of Mr Rowan’s Insignia after he parked it up near the estate.
