Daniel Kinahan Due Back Before Special Criminal Court Today

He's been held on remand at Portlaoise Prison since being brought back to Ireland in August.

Daniel Kinahan is due back before the Special Criminal Court today.

After being extradited from the UAE in August, the 49-year-old was charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation.

Daniel Kinahan has been held on remand at Portlaoise Prison since he was brought back to Ireland on the 9th of August.

A major security operation will be rolled out if he attends in person, including a heavily protected prison transfer, and an armed Garda presence at the courthouse.

On what is the first day of the new legal term, Kinahan’s case is listed for service of the book of evidence.

If it’s ready to be handed over, the court may fix a date for trial. If not, the case may be adjourned.

Separately, a man is due to go on trial at the non-jury court on drugs and organised crime charges connected with the State’s largest seizure of crystal meth.
