Case against Eamon Kelly murder accused put back
Summary
In a Special Criminal Court hearing, Sean Connolly, aged 34, was charged with the murder of veteran criminal Eamon Kelly, who was killed on 4 December 2012 at Furry Park Road, Killester. Connolly also faced charges of IRA membership and possession of a firearm. His counsel, Ms Siobhan Ni Chulachain, informed the court that solicitor Michael Finucane could not take instructions due to Connolly's illness. Consequently, the judge, Mr Justice Paul Butler, postponed the case for two weeks, with a new hearing scheduled for 13 December, and the prosecution requested a video link for the hearing.
