A 30-year-old man has gone on trial at the Special Criminal Court charged with the murder of Michael Barr at a Dublin pub last year.
Eamonn Cumberton, from Mountjoy Street in the city, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of the Co Tyrone man on April 25 2016.
Mr Barr, a father-of-five from Strabane, had worked as a manager at the Sunset House pub at Summerhill Parade in north inner city Dublin.
The court heard that Mr Barr died after being shot several times by two masked men.
A post-mortem showed he died from seven gun shot wounds to the head, shoulder and leg.
A silver Audi was later seen on Walsh Road with three occupants, who tried to set it alight before running to another car.
The fire was put out before it took hold and a number of items recovered, including loaded firearms - linked by ballistics examination to bullets in the victim - ammunition, masks and boiler suits.
A mobile phone was also found near the car.
The court heard that Mr Cumberton was arrested a month later in Dublin and DNA from a saliva sample was consistent with mixed profiles recovered from a baseball cap and rubber mask in the silver Audi.
Mr Cumberton denies the charge and the case has continues.
