A Dublin man accused of the murder of veteran criminal Eamon Kelly will indicate how he intends to plead to the charge at Special Criminal Court next month.
In December last year Sean Connolly (34), of Bernard Curtis House, Bluebell, Dublin 12, appeared before a special sitting of the Special Criminal Court charged with murdering r Kelly at Furry Park Road, Killester on Dublin’s northside, on December 4th, 2012.
Connolly was also charged with IRA membership on the same date and with possession of a firearm on the same occasion.
Counsel for the accused man, Ms Siobhan Ni Chulachain BL, this morning (Wednesday) asked the non-jury court to list the matter for arraignment on July 24th.
She also asked for an application for legal aid to be granted in circumstances where there was no objection from the State.
Presiding judge Mr Justice Paul Butler said the court would grant the application for legal aid and list the matter for arraignment on July 24th.
