Sinn F\u00e9in has said that party MP John Finucane will not be representing Daniel Kinahan in his upcoming trial.<\/p>\n
Mr Finucane is a solicitor and represents clients through his company Finucane Toner.<\/p>\n
He represented Mr Kinahan in a previous legal matter.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Sinn F\u00e9in confirmed that the MP would not be representing Mr Kinahan in the trial.<\/p>\n
He added that it was a matter of public record that Mr Finucane had previously done some legal work for the alleged crime boss.<\/p>\n
Mr Kinahan was not legally represented in court on 9 August when he made his first appearance back in Ireland after being extradited from Dubai.<\/p>\n
During a brief hearing at the Special Criminal Court before a panel of three judges, he was charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation between 18 October 2015 and 6 April 2017 .<\/p>\n
Mr Kinahan told the court he “didn’t have time to arrange anything” but would seek legal representation later.<\/p>\n
Following the charge, he was remanded in custody and taken to Portlaoise Prison.<\/p>\n
