Supergrass witness Jonathan Dowdall's former home is sold
The house on Dublin's Navan Road was placed on the market last month with a price tag of €795,000 A sold sign has now appeared in the front garden Some of the features of the Dublin home Johnathan Dowdall and his former home in Dublin The stunning €795,000 house on Navan Road, Dublin, had initially been placed on the market in June 2024 and appeared to have been sold. However, it reappeared on the market in April with the same asking price as before. It now appears to have sold once again with a sign appearing in the front garden, as a new owner is set to take over the four bed four-bed family home. It has been described as 'wonderfully presented' and in turnkey condition. 'The south facing garden is beautifully landscaped, featuring a large fishpond, an oriental inspired haven perfect for entertaining or a relaxing escape. Johnathan Dowdall and his former home in Dublin News in 90 Seconds - July 11th An advert for the house describes it as having a spacious hallway with marble tiles throughout, a large and cosy living room with an open fireplace. 'The kitchen has been extended, boasting plenty of natural light and additional worktop space, perfect for all of your culinary needs. 'A spacious garage provides secure parking for your vehicles and additional storage space, along with a home office space or can be used as an additional living room. Each of the four bedrooms has built-in wardrobes, and the attic has been converted into a multi-purpose living space. It also comes with double glazed windows, gas fired central heating and crucially for the former Sinn Fein councillor turned mobster, a large cobble lock driveway with security gates. The luxurious home, which is on sale for a bargain price, featured heavily in the murder trial of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch. In particular, the back garden fish-pond, where gardai searched for firearms following the 2016 Regency Hotel slaying of David Byrne. The airy kitchen is the location where Dowdall blindfolded innocent man Alex Hurley who he believed was trying to con him out of a motorcycle he was selling. Hurley was then dragged to the garage where he was water-boarded and threatened during an eight-hour torture session. Dowdall and his father Patrick later admitted at the Special Criminal Court to falsely imprisoning and threatening to kill Alexander Hurley in January 2015, before being jailed for 12 and eight years respectively. Jonathan Dowdall is nearing the end of his prison sentence for his role in the murder of David Byrne in February 2016 and is set to join the Witness Protection Programme when he is released. The sale of the home will fund his new life and relocation which will see him set up in a foreign country with the same means he had while living in Ireland. Some of the features of the Dublin home The Dubliner was originally due to go on trial alongside Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch for the murder of David Byrne, but the charge was dropped when he pleaded guilty to facilitating the killing and agreed to testify against his former co-accused. Dowdall gave evidence during the murder trial at the Special Criminal Court, which saw Hutch walk free when he was found not guilty. Ms Justice Burns dismissed Dowdall's credibility as a witness in her lengthy judgement, saying 'he acted out of self-interest' and the court was 'not prepared to act on his statement alone'. Dowdall was sentenced to four years in prison for facilitating the murder the day before Hutch's trial began in 2022.
