The Special Criminal Court has heard conversations between Jonathon Dowdall and Gerry Hutch that were secretly recorded in the wake of the Regency Hotel shooting.
The pair were travelling to Northern Ireland in February 2016, unaware the jeep they were in contained a recording device.
The conversations between the two men took place two days after the Regency Hotel shooting where David Byrne was murdered.
In the tape, the pair criticise the media’s coverage of the incident.
Mr Dowdall said the papers “don’t have a clue” and Mr Hutch added Gardaí don’t know four of the six people involved in the shooting and that it’s all speculation.
Mr Hutch also says Daniel Kinahan looks like he’s “in a heap” but added he can see why.
He added that he should look an awful way after escaping an AK47 attack “by the skin of his teeth”.
Mr Dowdall also gives extensive details on the components of a bomb and the pair discuss what would happen if it was placed under a car or in a building.
Further recordings will be played for the court later today.
Mr Hutch denies murdering David Byrne, who was shot dead when gunmen stormed a boxing event in 2016.
