The man in jail for shooting rugby player Shane Geoghegan in Limerick nearly 7 years ago is due to find out today if he has won an appeal against his murder conviction.
Barry Doyle of Portland Row in Dublin is serving a mandatory life sentence.
Crime figure, John Dundon from Hyde Road, Limerick was also found guilty of the murder.
Shane Geoghegan was gunned down metres from his home in Dooradoyle in Limerick a case of mistaken identity.
Barry Doyle was arrested, confessed to the shooting and was convicted of murder at the Central Criminal Court in 2012.
However on appeal his lawyers claimed that gardai had induced him into making admissions.
It was argued that gardai used his partner Victoria Gunnery and their child with a hole in his heart as tools of psychological oppression.
This they said was done by gardai telling Barry Doyle that his partner was also in custody and therefore away from their sick child because of him.
The Court of Appeal is due to rule on the case today.
