Book of evidence served on alleged Kinahan associate Sean McGovern over murder charge
Alleged Kinahan cartel figure Sean McGovern, who was extradited from Dubai earlier this year, has been served with a book of evidence relating to the murder of Noel 'Duck Egg' Kirwan. 'Voluminous' books of evidence relating to other organised crime charges are still pending, the Special Criminal Court heard on Monday. Mr McGovern (39), with a previous address at Kildare Road, Crumlin, Dublin 12, appeared in person before the three-judge court, having been transported from Portlaoise Prison. He is charged with the murder of Mr Kirwan on December 22nd, 2016, at St Ronan's Drive, Clondalkin, in Dublin. READ MORE Mr McGovern is also charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation in connection with the same murder between October 20th, 2016, and December 22nd, 2016. He is charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation in connection with the surveillance of James Gately in preparation for the commission of an indictable offence between October 17th, 2015, and April 6th, 2017. Another charge alleges that between October 20th and December 22nd, 2016, he contributed to or participated in activity intending or being reckless as to whether such activity would facilitate a criminal organisation in the murder of Mr Kirwan. He faces a similar charge of facilitating a criminal organisation in a conspiracy to murder Mr Gately. The book of evidence relating to the Kirwan murder was served on the accused on Monday morning, defence counsel Keith Spencer said. A second book of evidence will be served in October via electronic means. Mr Spencer forms part of a new legal team representing the accused after Mr McGovern dismissed his previous team last month. Counsel reiterated the defence's intention to challenge the lawfulness of Mr McGovern's extradition from Dubai last May. He said this challenge may take place before the Special Criminal Court or another court. The accused has been attempting to get information on the extradition from a number of State bodies, including the Department of Justice and the Director of Public Prosecutions, counsel said. He said they have 'encountered a number of roadblocks to getting the information we require'. The challenge to the extradition cannot take place until this information is received and the serving of a book of evidence should not be read as an acquiesce to the lawfulness of the process, Mr Spencer said. Ms Justice Karen O'Connor set a further hearing date for October 7th, 2025.

Family blast paedophile who abused girl during sleepovers
A paedophile, who sexually abused a girl during sleepovers with one of his own children, was jailed today for seven years with final 12 months suspended. The man, who cannot be named to protect the anonymity of the victim, sexually groomed the girl and got her to send him explicit videos of herself via her mobile phone. The girl's family rejected an apology from the man through his barrister at his sentencing hearing, held at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court. The court heard that the man, with an address in County Clare, would whisper to the girl, 'Don't tell, don't tell, it is our little secret', after he abused her. The abuse started in 2010, when the girl was aged ten, and the man was in his 40s, and continued until the girl was 15. The victim eventually made a formal complaint to Gardaí when she was 16, in 2016. The man left Ireland after he was arrested and questioned and released on bail pending further enquiries in 2017. He was in custody since he was re-arrested abroad in 2024 on foot of an extradition warrant in respect of 31 child-sex related charges.

The register of known paedophiles in Ireland is not available to the barrister John O'Sullivan, instructed by State solicitor Padraig Mawe, assisted by Garda Mark McGauley, previously told the court that the man 'actively groomed (the girl) for the purpose of his own sexual gratification'. 'She saw him touch his penis with his hand. It was not the first time this happened. He said she was 'beautiful' and a 'special girl'. He actively groomed her for his own sexual gratification,' said prosecuting barrister John O'Sullivan. The man would also put the victim's hand on his penis and he would put his fingers into her vagina. 'He told her, 'This is our little secret',' Mr O'Sullivan man groomed the girl for his sexual pleasure through chats with the girl via the Facebook and Viber social media platforms, late at night, and when she attended his home on sleepovers with one of his man sent the victim 10 images of his penis and asked her to send him images of her private parts. The girl sent the man 20 photos and one an effort to conceal his offending, the man instructed the girl to delete the imagery and video, which she did, and this material could not be man told the girl that when she was 18 they would go to Spain and 'go further". 'She didn't want that,' Mr O'Sullivan told the she made a formal complaint to Gardaí, the girl told specially-trained detectives who deal with sex cases involving minors, that she 'asked (the man) to stop' and that 'it felt weird' after he asked her to kiss his penis and he kissed her vagina. Reading a victim impact statement in court the girl said her life had been destroyed by the abuse. The girl, now in her 20s, said she continues to suffer from flashbacks, severe depression, anxiety and a complex post traumatic stress disorder. 'He will never truly understand what he did to me. He stole my childhood and he stole my adulthood because I will never cleanse the memories from my mind,' the victim said.'The abuse continues to filter into my daily life in unexpected ways and trigger me. A song he used to play might play in a shop and it instantly transports me back, memories of what he did would surge into my mind. I can still hear his voice whisper, 'Don't tell, don't tell, it's our little secret'.'The man's barrister, senior counsel Mark Nicholas, said the defendant is in his 50s, had no prior convictions, and he was considered by a psychologist as being below average risk of Nicholas read out a letter of apology from the man expressing his remorse and shame. A member of the girl's family, who was sitting in the court with her, replied: 'We don't accept your apology.' Mr O'Sullivan said the victim was entitled to her right to anonymity, and that the 'issue of publicity' in respect of the defendant's identify could be finalised at the conclusion of the criminal proceedings. Sentencing Judge Colin Daly ordered no parties could be identified. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here
