GARDA Commissioner Drew Harris has launched a High Court legal action against Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch, the two Regency Hotel getaway drivers and the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The Garda chief formally lodged the case against the veteran crime figure and the State’s prosecutors on June 26; however, it can be revealed that it is not a personal damages case and is likely to be related to a technical issue connected to the David Byrne murder trial.
