HAVING SUFFERED A fatal knife wound to his neck, a Dublin father called the man who had inflicted the injury a “dirtbird” and told him: “You stabbed me in the artery, you f**king eejit,” a murder trial has heard. The jury has seen CCTV footage of two prior altercations between the men on the same day. Following a second altercation just after 9.30pm, Michael Ryan left in his car, but was arrested almost immediately for drink driving. Kelly said an audio recording captured Ryan moments after being stabbed saying: “You fucking c**t you, you dirtbird, Joey. The jury heard a recording of the 999 call in which Lawlor could be heard asking for help.
