Th trial continues at the Special Criminal Court.

A car dealer paid 400 euro for a Renault Kangoo van which was seized later the same day by Garda investigating the abduction of businessman Kevin Lunney, the Special Criminal Court has heard.

Witness James Maguire said he bought the van from a man he knew only as "David".

The prosecution alleges the van was used by three of Mr Lunney's attackers to travel to and from Cavan.

Opening the trial back in May prosecution counsel Sean Guerin SC said forensic examiners discovered blood with DNA matching Mr Lunney's on a door of the van and DNA matching one of the accused on the back of the driver's seat.

The trial also heard from three policing analysts who told Mr Guerin that they compared CCTV footage of a Kangoo van on the day Mr Lunney was abducted with the movements of mobile phones allegedly belonging to two of the accused men.
