Overview
- At a Dublin briefing, Detective Chief Superintendent Seamus Boland said the absence of a murder conviction is not a policing failure.
- Garda figures for 2025 report zero gangland gun murders, 98 Hutch and Kinahan members jailed, and 51 attempted hits foiled.
- Investigators say 17 people have been arrested in the Regency probe, with four men convicted for offences linked to the attack and a fifth sentenced over firearms matters.
- Boland said the Kinahan cartel no longer operates as it did in 2016, while the Hutch group remains active and under investigation.
- Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis called the 2016 hotel attack an assault on the state, and Gerry “The Monk” Hutch was acquitted of David Byrne’s murder in 2023.
