A Special Criminal Court judge has told lawyers for Sean McGovern, who has applied for legal aid after being charged with murder and directing a criminal organisation, that the defendant has provided no information about how he funded his lifestyle in Dubai for the past eight years.
Presiding judge Ms Justice Karen O’Connor said today that the non-jury court was not satisfied about the level of information provided in a statement of means document, which she said had contained “at best, scant detail”.
