(from chancer of the week........)
"I don't have a book of evidence in my back pocket, I have to seek an extension of time."
Seamus Ruane, Inspector in the Disctrict Court in reply to Ted McCarthy Solicitor.
The Collopy Brothers (Kieran and Damien) who are accused of tresspassing and threatening to kill an individual April last, will stand trial at Limerick Circuit Court following directions from the DPP. They are also facing an additional charge of demanding money from the same individual. The defendants pleaded innocent to the additional charge.
Their Solicitor Ted McCarthy put in an objection to a Garda application for additional time while the book of evidence was being prepared. He maintained that the statutory period of 42 days had elapsed since the brothers were charged and wanted O'Donnell to strike out the charges as they were all connected.
"The delay is unreasonable," he said.O'Donnell refused Ted McCarthy's application and the case was adjourned until the 8th of July.
