On 11 May he was moved by O'Donovan, Stephen Carroll Held, and Patrick McNeela to the home of J. J. O'Neill in Rathmines. During this he handed over $165,000 in American currency to the IRA and kept $10,000 for himself. Görtz stayed with the O'Neill's until at least 19 May when he was moved to Stephen Held's. Following this he was to meet with IRA supremo Stephen Hayes and remain on the loose in Ireland for a total of eighteen months.
