A man described as a “senior lieutenant” in the Kinahan organised crime gang is expected to be sentenced at a Dublin court.
Sean McGovern, 40, pleaded guilty to two charges of directing the activities of a criminal organisation relating to the deadly Hutch-Kinahan gangland feud in Ireland in which he was shot.
The charges relate to his involvement in the lead-up to the murder of Noel Kirwan, a grandfather who was shot dead in December 2016, and the targeting and monitoring of James Gately with a view to having him shot dead, which did not take place.
A sentencing hearing for McGovern in May heard that he wanted to apologise for the hurt as a consequence of his actions.
He is expected to learn his sentence at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin on Monday.
