A senior garda intelligence analyst has outlined in detail to the Special Criminal Court the movements of the cars that the prosecution says were driven by Paul Murphy and Jason Bonney on the day of the Regency Hotel murder.
Mr Murphy, 61, and Mr Bonney, 52, have pleaded not guilty to helping a criminal gang commit the murder of David Byrne on 5 February 2016 by providing access to motor vehicles.
Sarah Skedd gathered information from a variety of sources, including phone data, automatic number-plate recognition, CCTV and garda interviews with the accused men.
She then drew up a spreadsheet with a timeline and maps of the movements of the men's cars on that day.
Ms Skedd outlined how the cars moved around Dublin's north city before and after the Kinahan gangster was shot dead at the hotel.
She said both cars were in the vicinity of St Vincent’s GAA ground when the six-man hit team ran down a nearby laneway and made their escape.
Ms Skedd also referred to "a flat cap male" seen getting into Mr Bonney’s black BMW X5 after the murder and being driven away.
The deceased dissident republican Kevin 'flat cap’ Murray has been identified as one of the gunmen who committed the murder.
The analyst said that Mr Bonney’s BMW X5 then took a right on to the Malahide Road after the murder, while Mr Murphy’s Toyota Avensis taxi went left.
The two cars had also been captured on CCTV earlier that day driving in convoy.
It is the State’s case that both Mr Murphy and Mr Bonney were involved in collecting the gunmen after the murder and helping them escape.
Earlier, Ms Skedd also gave evidence in relation to the movements of Jonathan Dowdall and his father Patrick on the day before the murder when they travelled to Strabane in Co Tyrone.
The younger Dowdall has already told the court that he went to Northern Ireland after Gerard Hutch asked him to contact dissident republicans to ask them to intervene in the ongoing Hutch-Kinahan feud.
Dowdall has also testified that he and his father handed over a key to a room at the Regency Hotel to Mr Hutch on the eve of the murder and subsequently told him that he had shot Mr Byrne.
Mr Hutch, 59, with an address at the Paddocks in Clontarf in Dublin denies the murder.
The trial continues tomorrow.
