The prosecution's case is that the accused took part in the robbery of a Dundalk credit union during which Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe was shot dead.
THE STATE CONTENDS that an accused’s back tattoo amounts to a “pictorial admission” of his involvement in the robbery of a Dundalk credit union during which Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe was shot dead, the Special Criminal Court has heard.
Treanor , previously of Emer Terrace, Castletown Road, Dundalk, Co Louth, and James Flynn from South Armagh are charged with the robbery of €7,000 at Lordship Credit Union in Bellurgan, Co Louth, on 25 January, 2013. The prosecutor also said that the female figure, with hair going down the right hand side, is holding a gun up to her lips.On the left hand side of the tattoo, Grehan said, are four male figures wearing hats. The second man is holding what appears to be a long barrelled firearm, said counsel.
Under cross-examination, Michael Lynn SC, defending Treanor, put it to the witness that the tattoo was in fact covering up the name ‘Charlene’. Gda Hanlon replied “possibly, yes”. The lawyer said the taking of the photographs was lawfully done and what Lynn was complaining about was the purpose that the photographs might be put to and that was ultimately a matter for the court.
