“Gardaí are monitoring the situation with the release of this individual but the threat levels against him may not be as severe as they were a number of years ago,” a source said.
“There is even a mindset that say the biggest threat to Ross Hutch is his own reckless and idiotic behaviour,” the source added.
Ross Hutch is a first cousin of Gary Hutch, whose murder in Spain in September 2015 sparked the deadly Hutch/Kinahan feud.
Four of Ross Hutch s relatives have been murdered as part of the feud, including his father, Eddie Hutch Snr (59).
Eddie Snr was gunned down on Poplar Row in February 2016, just days after David Byrne was shot dead in the Regency Hotel bloodbath. This killing remains unsolved despite a number of arrests and gardaí following a definite line of enquiry.
