One of two men convicted of the manslaughter of Slane Castle gamekeeper Timmy Kidman has been jailed again.
 Michael Hodgins (55 ), Pearse Park Drogheda pleaded guilty to money laundering in respect of €322,055 cash hidden in his house has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.
 Hodgins, could not account for bundles of money underneath a false step in stairs at his home, Dundalk Circuit Court heard. The defendant was previously convicted of the manslaughter of Slane Castle gamekeeper Timothy Kidman for which he received a 12-year sentence in 1990.
At an adjourned sentence hearing, Judge Dara Hayes said that wood in the false stair was held in place by magnets.
It was “clearly designed for concealment”. He continued that no explanation has been given for Mr Hodgins’ possession of this very large quantity of cash but there was a clear inference it was for the assistance of serious criminality.
