Several of the films based on the life of the late Irish journalist Veronica Guerin feature actors playing Hutch.

Hutch appeared on RTÉ's Prime Time in March 2008 where he was interviewed about his life and criminal career. Hutch denied any criminal activity, since his last prison sentence, other than tax evasion Hutch pointed out that he has never been convicted of any of the crimes he was linked to in the late 1980s and 1990s while the interviewer repeatedly queried the Monk's wealth and its origins.

Hutch was the subject of investigation in the popular TV3 factual television series, Dirty Money. The episode which aired March 2008 was solely devoted to the assets and finances seized by the criminal assets bureau of the Garda Síochána of both Hutch and his suspected criminal and family associates.

Famous quotes containing the word film:

    The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.
