This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Ivor Callely’s High Court action seeking temporary release was adjourned for a week, as reported on 20 March 2015.

The adjournment followed the State’s objection to alleged scandalous allegations in a sworn statement submitted by Callely.

Callely’s lawyer disputed that characterisation, while the judge directed that a new affidavit should be sworn and answered before the hearing.

The proceedings concern refusals of temporary release or enhanced remission after Callely admitted fraudulently claiming €4,207.45 in Oireachtas expenses.
