Dowdall then criticised Mrs McDonald for not attending the funeral of Mr Hutch's brother, Edward, who was killed days after the shooting of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel."She didn't attend the innocent man's funeral. She was on the telly the night Neddy got shot and she branded everyone as scumbags, she said they're all scumbags," he said.
"She shoulda turned around and said, I know that deceased man and I know that family. It'd be different Gerard if she was a politician and it was not her area.

He is currently being assessed for the Witness Protection Program after agreeing to testify against Mr Hutch.Sunday Politics can be seen again on BBC Two Northern Ireland tonight at 23:45 GMT and on the
