Boy B's psychologist evidence in a murder case was ruled inadmissible by Mr Justice Paul McDermott, reported on 18 June 2019.

The defence wanted clinical psychologist Dr Colm Humphries to explain Boy B's reactions and alleged trauma during garda interviews.

The judge ruled the evidence could not be admitted, saying it was for the jury to assess Boy B's lies and explanations using ordinary human experience.
