Crime boss Thomas Kavanagh set up gun plot to dupe police

Mr Forster said Kavanagh hoped he would be “rewarded” for helping the authorities to recover the weapons, by way of a discount from his sentence.

“However, the true position was that he and his co-conspirators did not intend to provide any real assistance, because they had orchestrated the acquisition of weapons and ammunition through their own serious criminality. It was a ‘put-up job’,” Mr Forster added.

Kavanagh, Byrne, 44, from Dublin, and Kent, 38, from Liverpool, all admitted two charges of conspiring to possess a prohibited weapon, and two charges of conspiring to possess prohibited ammunition, between 9 January 2020 and 3 June 2021.

Kavanagh and Kent also admitted conspiring with others to pervert the course of justice.

Judge Philip Katz KC is expected to hand down sentences on Tuesday.
