The story of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch - Part 1: The double cross

This is the story of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch, from his early days as a young hoodlum through to his astonishing acquittal in the Special Criminal Court for the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel.
How did this quiet-spoken man from Dublin's north inner-city become one of the most notorious figures in Irish criminal history?
And how did he end up on trial for murder and why did he walk free?
This is a four-part story about blood bonds, bitter feuds and shocking betrayal. It's a story about the changing face of Dublin, and the pursuit of justice - in the courts and on the streets.

I've found myself becoming a bit of a Monk fanboy...truly fascinating character.

[@paulmcgrath6118]

Same here , he shouldn’t be glorified and he’s definitely not the ordinary decent criminal people like to imagine him to be . But he is an interesting character

[@Gang-zy7lq]

Gerry Hutch is an absolutely fascinating character, I’d love to meet him . 🥰

[@ljm3718]

Him talking absolute shite on the radio show at approx 31 minute's😂😂😂😂

[@fasteee]

Gerry is one of the last of the real old skool gangsters , very few left these days.

[@labrador-fx3fb]

Wrong. He's bang out of order. He's NEVER had a labrador. Christy has always had Labradors. Gerry has gone for scummy breeds like Pitbulls and staffies. I'm sick to death of Gerry being revered and yet an educated man that speaks 5 languages like Christy whom loves Labradors has to be considered lesser. If you are NOT a Labrador person: you don't exist. Gerry has never understood Baroque, Romantic era music. He's never been to the Opera. CHristy bettered himself from the ghetto. He became a sophisticated person. Gerry refused to become a gentleman. To me: he's worthless.

@@labrador-fx3fb thats ruff

[@ciaranmccusker8809]

I'm from ballymun which is a tough place like all council estates the hutch family well known family Eddie his brother was sound I only knew him as a taxi man he used to work in the cabs he got us lads many of times I remember him saying youse love youse all nighters lads thank God I don't. Miss them days yous be Dien

[@interabang]

​@@labrador-fx3fb Christy is from a middle class family, not an impoverished background at all.

[@labrador-fx3fb]

@@interabang Good. Middle class families are more likely to have labradors than those chavvy dogs.

[@CORRIGEEN71]

Did dowdall and the monk agree to mess up the court case

[@Edward-oh6ln]

I think your right they were on the same wing till ten days before trial I'm on that side definitely

[@DanielDevine-hm6xh]

The monk is the real deal the ultimate gangsters gangster

[@Thegarygreen]

Dowdall is a weasel

[@patrickjm3487]

Dowdall was all for himself no one else and is a two faced wannabe gangster nobody thinking he was a high up in the world but he isn’t,,
Dowdall destroyed his life and his family’s lives by being a snitch and it got him nowhere ,,
The hutch family were very good to dowdall family with money and other stuff,,
He made a jackass of himself in the witness stand telling lie after lie ,,
Getting annoyed with hutch’s Brief who tore him apart in the witness stand,,

[@joeypower6220]

For sure pal

[@KingLoon3y]

If we legalised drugs, them lads would have simply made profit from child pornography or worse.
No honour among thieves.

[@Milne85]

Wrong. Nonces are universally hated

[@Nocomments666]

It was staged by Dowdall & hutch. Well played 💯

[@user-hu7jh8vt7g]

Pray for peace in Ireland 🇮🇪 🙏

[@imallrightme7336]

Free the Monk !

[@AbcdEfgh-zp1sn]

Hutch should be in prison .

[@joeypower6220]

Free man u sausage 😅😅😅

[@garysmyth1087]

Well he isn't 😂😂

[@shanegill5091]

I disagree, he's suffered enough.

[@labrador-fx3fb]

I don't think he should. I don't like him but he deserves freedom. He's suffered enough. Half his family is gone.

[@turboitfc6666]

Long live the monk 💪
