So if Hutch is not tax compliant, can he run in the byelection and, should he win, can he take a seat in the Dáil? “Investigation reports are provided to the Committee on Members’ Interests of Dáil Éireann, and laid before Dáil Éireann.”Gerry Hutch campaigns in the Dublin Central constituency during last year's general election. Cab, in evidence to the High Court, has previously described Hutch as the leader of “the Hutch organised crime group”. Twelve months ago, Hutch stunned the political establishment by running in the general election, securing 3,100 first-preference votes and almost winning the fourth and final seat.
