Declan 'Mr Nobody' Brady, who helped the Kinahan crime gang to murder an innocent man, has had a "change of heart", will no longer associate with the cartel and is "on the road to rehabilitation", his lawyers have told the Special Criminal Court.

Michael O'Higgins SC today asked the three-judge court to be "as lenient as circumstances permit" after Brady pleaded guilty to participating in the murder of Christopher (aka Noel) Kirwan. Gardaí have said repeatedly that Mr Kirwan was not involved in criminality in any way. It is understood he was targeted by the Kinahans due to the false belief that he might be linked to the Hutch criminal organisation.
