Man pleads guilty to firearms charges in case linked to Carlow shooter Evan Fitzgerald
TWO YOUNG MEN charged with multiple firearms offences alongside Evan Fitzgerald, the 22-year-old man who died after firing shots at a shopping centre in Carlow earlier this month, have appeared before Naas Circuit Court this afternoon. The charges stem from an incident in March 2024, in which the two were arrested along with Fitzgerald. Shane Kinsella, of Tynock, Kiltegan, Co Wicklow, and Daniel Quinn Burke, of Allendale Lawns, Baltinglass, Co Wicklow, are facing charges under the Firearms Act relating to weapons and ammunition. All three had been facing the same four charges: two counts relating to the possession of weapons, and two relating to the possession of ammunition. Kinsella and Quinn Burke have been on bail since March 2024. Fitzgerald had also been on bail prior to his death. Advertisement During a hearing earlier this month at Naas District Court Judge Desmond Zaidan withdrew the charges against Fitzgerald , who fatally injured himself in the incident at the Fairgreen centre, and described his death as 'a suicide'. Kinsella and Quinn Burke, both aged 21, were accompanied by their mothers in court today. The charges for both were idential – possession of .45 calibre M1911A1 semi-automatic pistol, as well as a 7.62mm G3 assault rifle and a range of ammunition. After Judge Elva Duffy read the firearms charges aloud, Daniel Quinn Burke entered a guilty plea. He is due to return to court for sentencing on 7 October. Shane Kinsella, represented by solicitor David Powderly, requested more time before entering a plea. Judge Duffy agreed to adjourn the case, and Kinsella is expected to appear again on 18 July.

Buyout firms circle corporate intelligence firm G3
A corporate intelligence firm which employs Sir John Sawers, the former head of MI6, is closing in on a deal to sell a big stake to a buyout firm. Sky News has learnt that G3, which was founded in 2004 and advises clients on a range of risks affecting their businesses, has been in detailed talks in recent weeks with private equity suitors including Oakley Capital and KKR. Precise details of a transaction were unclear on Sunday, although one source suggested that a deal was likely in the coming days, and could value the business at between £200m and £250m. They said that Oakley Capital - founded by the entrepreneur Peter Dubens - had emerged as the most likely investor, although a deal had yet to be agreed. Bridgepoint, another London-based private equity firm, had also expressed an interest in G3, the source added. G3 already has some external investment, having struck a deal with All Seas Capital in 2022, according to the latter's website. The firm - which files accounts under the name G3 Good Governance Group - advises companies, private equity firms, sovereign wealth funds and pension funds on areas of commercial risk such as cybersecurity, reported a 27% rise in revenue in 2023. During that year, the latest for which accounts are available, it recorded earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of nearly £9m. Sir John, who stepped down as the head of MI6 in 2014, was named chairman of G3's advisory board last year. Oakley Capital declined to comment, while G3 could not be reached for comment this weekend.
