I wouldn’t worry about a few pictures, I’ve never met the man but I think he’s a gent , interviews with him are a great watch , an ordinary decent criminal , who lives by his word in my opinion , he’s gone out , earned a crust for his family and deserves the good life 🙏 all the best gerry 👌 up the hutch 🎉

[@camkai1998]

😂👍🏽

[@TheHarrybo1]

Decent criminal 😂😂😂

[@jamesmowles6575]

Well said, 👍💯%.🤛😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@melissabyrne8749]

Now in fairness lads that beard looked bullet proof 😂. Best of luck to him

[@deeppurple883]

Why was it in the public interest to print his picture. You know this is dangerous for him and his family. Let's see what comes of it. Greed is the real reason you printed, sells paper's add space you know the drill. 😒

[@jamesodriscoll6748]

Money is the key the cost of life means nothing

[@wakeywakeypeeps3086]

I'm going out the front door with Gerry 🇨🇮💪

[@gerrysonofmick8834]

Would be even better if in the public interest youse start putting the news that's been kept from the public out there

[@scottmeikle3724]

Can u elaborate

[@shane-irish]

According to the media he was guilty so now he found innocent leave him alone

[@eggsellent11]

I hope where ever he goes or whatever he does him and his family are safe and happy, also thinking of the byrne family it must be awful to have daily reminders in the media . Was great to follow the coverage of the trial but now i think its time for the media to find another story line and let there be peace.

[@benjamin-ri2do]

Best of luck to him

[@flamboyentpromotions3471]

Whats the difference between the public interest and something the public would be interested in?

[@johnclfc]

Go on Gerry lad 😎

[@richardbarrow6606]

Fair Play to You Gerry Hutch 👍😇

[@frankie8571]

You showed him outside his home 😢

[@shanemolloy4731]

Im happy you mentioned free press . In my opinion a jury is as much a pillar of democracy as free press .SCC is a amatures court

[@jamesmowles6575]

Gerry hutch, & his family, & friends shld b aloud 2 draw a line in the sand , N hve earned the respect from there troubled past , N b left 2 live the rest ov there life's witch evr way the want . As they hve not had it as easy as ppl think, They hve had there fare share of troubles, N heart ache jst the same as the rest ov the other criminal,s . So why shld he not b entitled to enjoy the rest ov there life , As he's put alot ov hard work in 2 get were he is, So it's abt time he shld start to enjoy the gd life tht he deserves, 4 the troubles him & his family hve had 2 put up with throu the yrs ov loss, & missery he's delt with jst 2 build a legitimate life he deserves. So all the best 👍. And hpe everything goes well 4 u ,& the family . As u hve dne well . Keep it up, & hpe thts wit u r happy 2 do. !!! 👍😎💯. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌 All the best mate 👍.

[@mickybrennan3489]

Hes been seen because he wants youes all to see him, when he doesn't you won't.

[@jakemoon9939]

He clearly wants everyone to think hes not afraid. There’s probably a ceasefire

[@jakethompson4596]

When are they makin a movie about this guy

[@wandwan1241]

if one of your media gets hurt its your own fault yous are very aware of the fire your playin with on many levels,a guy running at a big target with a camera can be a hitman in disguise therefore can be conceived as a threat.secondly yous are meddling in stuff away above your pay-grade or expertise.this guy will allways be in a war zone and yous will allways be treated as enemy untill its safe not to.

[@jimsweep9291]

Common sense would tell you that he was not one of these guys who did the regency hotel those guys were a lot younger than Jerry and even the judges said it, if I was to name one guy in would be the guy who was given evidence against Jerry and it back fired on him and the judges seen sense and Jerry was found not guilty because he was not one of these gun men , and he even said it that they young man who died should never have been killed, R,I,P, to the young man and god bless his girlfriend and family members,

[@benwrong6855]

Are you gonna get Gerry on the podcast??

[@user-br8nf2om2n]

Ironic that since the sanctions have been in place on the kinihan trio , there no gun firing in north dublin now thanks god end this war between two dangerous family s , to many people are dead and lying in the grave now and the parents of all the victims have to live with a emptiness and have to cry there self to sleep most nights because medication dnt take away the pain , all thats going true there head at night or evertime they vist the grave yard telling there selfs my son was murdered/ shot dead all because someone said he was to be 😢murdered in day light in north dublin by a drugs gang that let money get to there head greed really , stop the killing and stop going around shooting innocent people all because they have the surname hutch i think enuff is enuff the kinihans have wiped out majority gerry hutchs fanily drop your tools and sit down and talk for another mothers son is after been shot "bang bang " personally i belive only this theory out of multiple storys and rumors , but personally as i said i strongly belive gerry hutch got screwd in the end because his fsmily got involved in drugs

[@Dollarg11111]

Mick o Neil. Needs a good thump

[@maryshepherd9919]

Great stuff 😊

[@RoyChadwick51]

Is the circus over ?

[@josephprendergast2925]

Sure u might as well tell his enemies exactly where he is to get the man killed

[@shanemolloy4731]

They use this to say SCC is fair. I say imagine the case before dowdall ! THE ONLY REASON garda brought such a weak case was because they are used to SCC court . This time the SCC could not do it because of the public reaction. Garda just needed to give the SCC cover and couldnt . How many less known were sent down by SCC. I think our government shows its weakness with that court

[@carolinerichards316]

jerry has bee n proven not guilty now leave him alone

[@kieronkilgannon8135]

Time too leave the man at peace now move on too other stories

[@jackwild8019]

He came out of the Central Criminal Court looking like an aging Jim Morrison. Perhaps he had some plastic surgery, the contours of his face seem aomewhat altered. He has the solace of knowing that he can decamp to sunny Spain 🇪🇸 whenever he wants. But Spain 🇪🇸 can be problematic. Irish everywhere...and Spain 🇪🇸 can be dangerous, poor Michael Cumberton falling to his death from an apartment in Marbella, December 2018. He was staying at an apartment there owned by the Kinahans. Ah, as Ji Morrison once said, strange days have found us 🔔🏛🌻

[@jamesodriscoll6748]

Have a day off

[@Sean-gz8ly]

Free the monk

[@shanemolloy4731]

Vitriol and abuse is more paul williams style . John daily is just 1 . He calls people all kind of names . Laughes .
