"Gerry Hutch is a man with a complicated and contradictory public persona. The convicted criminal, who splits his time between Ireland and Lanzarote, remains under investigation by Spanish authorities. But in his local constituency in Dublin's north inner city, many view him as more of a Robin Hood-style character than a gangland mastermind. Last year he emerged as a surprise contender in Ireland's general election, narrowly missing out on a seat in the constituency of Dublin Central."

Gerry Hutch combines a complex public persona with a criminal conviction and ongoing Spanish investigations. He splits his time between Ireland and Lanzarote while remaining under scrutiny from Spanish authorities. In Dublin's north inner city constituency, many residents regard him as a Robin Hood-style figure rather than a gangland mastermind. He emerged as a surprise contender in last year’s general election and narrowly missed a seat in Dublin Central. The resignation of Paschal Donohoe could create a political opening that Hutch might attempt to exploit. Tabitha Monahan is joined by Ali Bracken and Mary Regan.
