[2] At 6:55 am a man walked into the Bray Boxing Club just before a class started and fired a number of shots, killing Bobby Messett, injuring Pete Taylor in the arm and chest and Ian Britton in the legs.
[3] Katie Taylor had previously trained in the club, but was no longer involved and was in the United States at the time.
[1] The van was thought to have travelled from Bray through Shankill, then abandoned on Pigeon House Road near Poolbeg Generating Station in Ringsend.
[3] Gerard Cervi, of no fixed abode, was arrested and charged at a special sitting of Bray District Court in September 2018.
[6] On 1st December 2023, Gerard Cervi was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty on a single murder charge.
[7] Pete Taylor spoke of his distress in the aftermath of the shooting both at the event and at the death of his close friend Bobby Messett, who had joined the gym in 2010.
[11] The trial was originally due to end in August, but the finish date was extended to September and two jurors asked to be discharged.
[11] On 2 September nine members of the jury arrived in court and Mr Justice White said he was "sorry to hear about the illness to one of your number".
[13] The state argued that fingerprint and DNA evidence taken from the van allegedly used by the gunman linked it to Gerard Cervi.
